Trying to find distances for hidden waypoints and unpublished waypoints.

 

given two sets of co-ordinates this application will give you the distances between the two points.

I've used this one -

Since the OP asked for a website, here's my favorite. Just put the decimal portion of the minutes in the "minutes" box and leave the "seconds" box blank.

not a website but I use google earth and the ruler tool included with it

Acme Mapper allows you to set multiple markers, and will show the distance and bearing from any marker to any of the others. IMHO, it's a better interface than Google Maps, although it uses the same data.. The author is also a cacher..

If you're at your computer, MapSource will do it without having to get on the internet and rely on some unknown "tool" to be accurate.

 

Your GPSr will do it right there in the field if you have a half-decent model.

i use these two websites for my initial setting up of a cache.

 

first with give you the decimal loat long , to give you a good start for setting up your cache page:

 

Lat Long finder

 

you can view it as map, satellight, of hybrid and can zoom into streat level with very accurate coordinats.

 

The second

 

once i have visited GZ and got the pinpoint location i use this to find out the distance to any other caches/ closest parking etc.

 

distance between to coords

 

and if you need to do the conversion between decimal and DMS cords i use this page

 

decimal to DMS

I use FizzyCalc. It's not an online tool but some free software you download. It does all sorts of other useful geocaching calculations too.

If you're just trying to get the tenth-mile separation, the easiest method is to load your GPX of all the area caches into MapSource, select all of them and add a 0.1 mile proximity to every cache. Now load them to your Garmin GPSr and you'll have the tenth-mile circle drawn around every cache so you can quickly tell if you're close to anything.

 

Be sure to keep a private waypoint file of all puzzle finals and MC physical stages and you can load those into your GPSr also.

I've used this one several times. Lots of options/variations depending on what you are trying go figure out: Javascript Great Circle Caculator.
