+ceriksson Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm wondering what some of you can recommend to aid in some puzzle caches, namely, the ability to do circular distances for triangulation(i.e. the type of puzzle that is the spot between the distances of several caches) or the use of different methods of coordinates. I have seen some caches that use coordinate types that for the life of me I couldn't find a way to plot it. Also the whole spherical world vs other methods etc. I'm new to the whole puzzle cache game and someone mentioned that there is some good software for it, but I can't recall the name. Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment

Thanks for any help! I used google maps for that. I did some searches online and found an article that talked about how to upload a text file with N points + radius and drew the various circles on the map. I then visually looked for the best intersection. Quote Link to comment
+me N u Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Try Fizzy calc - [url="http://www.fizzymagic.net/Geocaching/FizzyCalc/ It should do what you are after (and more) and its free! Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Mappingwise, Memory Map or GPS Visualizer (There are other parts of www.gpsvisualizer.com, but a lot of it is too complicated for me!) Quote Link to comment
