+Counter Fit Cache Posted December 26, 2002 Posted December 26, 2002 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! ChuckyBrown Quote

+Shoebox Posted December 26, 2002 Posted December 26, 2002 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. Quote
+Shoebox Posted December 26, 2002 Posted December 26, 2002 Found the program that was mentioned under the "general" title of the forum. Take a look at: http://www.mentorsoftwareinc.com/freebie/FREE1198.HTM It's a great conversion program for when you are not on line. Also if you look at http://www.mentorsoftwareinc.com under their freebie area, there is a MGRS comversion utility of some sort. Quote
thueringen-scout Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 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 Quote
+BigBirdNL Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 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. BigBird -- there is no spoon -- Quote
+varrius Posted June 14, 2003 Posted June 14, 2003 Shoebox: FYI, UTM/MGRS is Universal Transverse Mercator/Military Grid Reference System. Heres a converter called CORPSCON ive used on the job.Its put out by the Army. Does batch conversions.CORPSCON site Enjoy, Fritzer Quote
