Converting Coordinates


Counter Fit Cache

Hello all! I did not find any more caches today, but I have three in my Legend for tomorrow!!

 

Quick question for you....is there a software or table I can use to convert Latitude/longitue coordinates,UMT/MGRS, and so on.

 

Or, is there a page on Geocaching or another website that explains the difference, and conversion processes?

 

Thanks!

I don't begin to understand what UMT/MGRS is but I found some conversion information on a web site that might help you. Take a look at: http://www.tandt.be/wis/index.html I also came across a free program that will convert the different forms of lat/long if that is what you are looking for but I'm still looking for the link. Maybe someone else can recall the program just in case I can't find it.

I can give you a small self written tool for PC's. It is a calculator (appears similar like the Windows calculator) that is able to convert LAT/LONG coordinates in decimal format into degrees/minutes/secons and vice versa. If you need it just contact me: kaiwick@web.de

Look at the CacheMaps site. Here is a free converter in Excel. Also a Mass Convertor if you have a lot of waypoints to convert.

But if you use CacheMaps itself, you don't need a converter. It does it all for you. Plus a lot more.

Shoebox: FYI, UTM/MGRS is Universal Transverse Mercator/Military Grid Reference System.
