+Team Chinook Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 A little more detail to your question would be helpful. Might also want to move it to the technical forum. Quote Link to comment
ao318 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Are you referring to an actual topo map with the N/W lines on it? Quote Link to comment
7rxc Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 How can I find a grid ref without a map? Been looking at a few web sites...confused or what Help please. I second the request for clarification, but... IF you want to convert from the GC.com DD MM.mmm to UTM grid... it's often there on the cache page. IF you want to convert that in the field, just enter the GC.com coordinates as a waypoint then change the GPS coodinate settings from that to UTM (or whatever else you wish to use). IF you want to find coordinates on the ground without using a map, and I assume the cache, you simply use the GOTO feature and move around following the bearing and range indications... range should diminish or you are not getting there!... IF you wish to plan the easiest route before hand, use the Driving Directions button on the cache page. IF you wish to see roughly the coordinates for the cache as relates to the ground, Use the Google Map box on the cache page... it will show you what is about the given coordinates, use satellite , map or terrain as needed... Anything else, we are waiting clarification. Doug VE7RXC Quote Link to comment
