Eg N43 44.504 W 79 44.220 Offset 110 m. 320 deg m

Thanks for everyone's help.. unfortunately I'm still lost Tried figuring out how this: X = D cos A Y = D sin A Sum the X and Y from each projection for final location. Basic vector math. For instance vector 1: 110 m at 320 degrees. X = 110 cos 320 = -70.7 m (- means west) Y = 110 sin 320 = 84.3 m (+ means north) Do this for each one and add up the X and Y values. X (total) = X1 + X2 + X3 + X4...... and then you have the distance from the start to the end. But not sure how to enter this info into a calculator that has SIN etc. ALso - once you have the total sum - how do you put that into a meaningful direction and distance - I am using the geocaching.com app on iPhone and have a road garmin GPS if needed... Sorry - we're still newbies.. but enjoy this hobby - this one is very challenging! and I have a travel bug to place in it once i find it !!!

I can't seem to get the calculator to work... If the location is N043degrees 44.726 and W079 degrees 44.041 - how do you enter that into the online calculator? http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/calculators N43.44.726, W79.44.041? doesn't seem to be accurate when I map it? what am i doing wrong?

I see, thanks!

sorry - removed the spoiler info...

Thanks, I will take a look at that site - Wondering this, the description did say something about not being able to do one at a time, as these are around a lake, you would end up in the water ! does that make sense? does doing them one by one still work then? sorry, we are newbies to Geocaching... Thx

How do you enter coordinates into iPhone geocaching.com app?

In a GeoCache we are trying to find, there were 4 clues with offset information. Final clue is to sum the vectors?? How do you do that Math? Please help. #1 110m 320 deg #2 130m 200 deg #3 60m 60 deg #4 120m 130 deg I'm supposed to sum thise, find a new co-ordinate, from the last location - which I did find... Any ideas?
