+kcseagull Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I have tried many time and with no success in using the Jeeep.Com site to covert grid readings. I have tried to contact them, but the mail was return as the address does not eist any longer. Any suggestions? Thanks. Kcseagull Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 What specifically are your problems? I've never had any difficulty with coordinate conversion. But if you have a grid system that isn't listed on that page... Quote Link to comment
+BilboB Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I have never had a problem with JEEEP. I use it all the time. I use another link as well, but I cannot locate it right now...sorry. Quote Link to comment

+kcseagull Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 If I enter: N30 20.480 W089 21.021 it will not give me 16R 274062 N3358950 as it should. I will get 16R 273825 3372652. I'm sure it is something that I am doing incorrectly but I don't know what it is. Are there any written instructions on how to use this site. Ken Quote Link to comment

Ken I believe you are entering decimal minutes as minutes and seconds. At Jeeep.com you will see 4 input areas one for degrees, minutes, seconds; another for degees decimal, another for UTM, and a forth for Minutes Decimal. Use the Minutes Decimal input for converting from the format used at Geocaching.com. You will need to enter degrees W longitude as a negative number, eg. latitude: 30 20.480 longitude: -89 21.021 Quote Link to comment
+kcseagull Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 (edited) It is absolutely amazing what can happen when you know what you or doing. I entered it, as you instructed, and it worked perfectly. I'm, more than likely, one of the more dumb that use the site, however, it would be helpful if the site was to offer some instructions on entering the data. the - (minus) is the difference. Thanks for your help. Ken Edited February 10, 2005 by kcseagull Quote Link to comment
