+DARRAHSCOUT Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) HELP!!! I am attempting a cache that must be way over my head, it says that I need to use a calulator first to convert this to coords. I have looked online at various conversion methods and none of them use numbers with this many digits. My final coords are going to end up N 41 23 *** and W 73 24 ***. Any clues as to a method here? I don't really want it done for me,, just point me in the right direction!!!!!! Thanks, Ken the cache is GC1AEXH,,THANKS!!!!!!! Edited May 19, 2008 by DARRAHSCOUT Quote Link to comment
ao318 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Do you need to convert the coordinates from one type of format to another different format or do you actually have to do math to solve an equation that will get you an answer that you must convert over? There is a program that can help you convert waypoints, bearing degrees, and other things. It is called fizzycalc. http://www.fizzymagic.net/Geocaching/FizzyCalc/index.html I hope this is what you are asking for. Quote Link to comment
