Wampler had the coordinates long before this. This is from the bogus 11.1.3 section of the Mission Report and despite the machinations, the astronauts and Houston do not have the landing site coordinates until just before launch. AND Armstrong does not look at that crater until right before he leaves the lunar surface and ends the EVA. So Wampler has the coordinates before "Armstrong looks at the crater". quote from 11.1.3, coordinates to crew before lift off and they were not by the way 00 41 15 north and 23 26 00 east.
"These data were transmitted to the Command Module Pilot on the last pass before lunar module lift-off, but the Command Mod- ule Pilot's activities at this time did not permit visual search. The location just west of West crater was confirmed by rendezvous radar track- ing of the command module by the lunar module near the end of the lunar stay period and by the descent photography."
That quote does not say when Houston had their tentative identification of the site. Nor does it say when Wampler had it either. Keep trying.
