+CWL Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 I am in need of a good Distance and Bearing Caclulator for a multi-cache I'm placing. I'm trying to have two offset caches. I want it to be hard but not impossible. So if a fellow cacher is out looking for my cache and can't find it he can make a waypoint and send it to me and I'll give him a new distance and bearing from his waypoint which would put him closer to the cache. This is the caclulator I'm currently useing but it doesn't seem to work right. I get a distance of 450ft from part one to part two, the caclulaor gets 200ft. I can't use it because it'll throw off the cacher too much. Please Help!!! E-mail me at Cwlutterloh@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment
+CWL Posted September 19, 2002 Author Share Posted September 19, 2002 This is the caculator I'm currently using. Or maybe I'm just not using it right. http://grapevine.abe.msstate.edu/~fto/calculator/converte.html Quote Link to comment
+Stunod Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Try using EasyGPS. Enter the waypoint created by the "lost" cacher and one for the actual cache. If you create a route out of these two points, EasyGPS will display a distance and bearing. Quote Link to comment
+CWL Posted September 19, 2002 Author Share Posted September 19, 2002 When I create a route EasyGPS says it is 1.4 miles. If I'm out in the field with my GPS it says 450 ft. Am I doing something wrong?? Help?!? Quote Link to comment
+apersson850 Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 If I had this problem, I would have used my GPS. The Vista can tell me the distance and bearing between two waypoints, or set a waypoint a certain distance and bearing away from another. Anders Quote Link to comment
