+Roving pigeon Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 Does anyone know how to convert UTM coordinates to degrees and minutes? The geocaching site converts from degrees to UTM, but not the other way around. Thanks, Roving pigeon Quote
+Cardinal Red Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 GeoCalc will do it ( Windows). You can also do it directly from the GPS. Enter either one correctly. Switch the display to the other format and it will show you the conversion. Quote

dsandbro Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Use one of the websites, downloaded freeware, or your GPS to do it. It is possible to do it by hand cranking with pencil and paper, but it gets real ugly. Only a real math nerd would like doing it that way. Quote

Tell me, tell me! Just kidding--I'd already looked it up. And yes, I am a math geek. So is my wife, which is incredibly fortunate! Quote
