Kai der Hai Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Hello everyone, I am from Germany and I am looking for vandrarhem coordinates. I tried google, and I tried the board search but did not find something. Does someone of you know a link, or own a file with vandrarhem coordinates? The area I am looking for is around Toreboda, a littlebit southeast from the big lake Vanern. Thank you very much, Kai Quote Link to comment
+reser Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 (edited) Hello Kai I`m not Swedish, but I found a sort of list you are looking for. Ironically it`s a German website! Well - here is the link: http://www.ahrholdt.de/data/stf-vandrarhem.grm The list is in "decimaldegrees" (DD.DDDDDD) For converting to DD MM.MMM (like the usual preferred geocaching-coordinates): 1) Keep the degrees-number 2) Multiply the numbers behind the seperation mark with 60 Example for the North coordinate in the first one: N58.7847595 -> Keep N58 then 60*0,7847595 = 47,08557 (three decimals is good enough to find geocaches...) Summit: N58.7847595 (DD.DDDDDDD)= N58 47,08557 (DD MM.MMM) If you are fairly good in using computers you can copy and paste this list and do the calculations in i.e. Microsoft Excel. Have a nice trip! Edited March 9, 2005 by reser Quote Link to comment
Kai der Hai Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 (edited) Thank you very much for your answer! Meanwhile I found this: http://homepage.mac.com/hhl934/GC_Pics/stfvandrarhem.gpx This seemes to be a list of all the Vandrarhem in Sweden. I used GPSbabel to convert this .gpx File before I was able to read it with my Garminsoftware. I think both lists are the same. The names are little bit different ... with kind regards from Germany, Kai Edited March 15, 2005 by Kai der Hai Quote Link to comment
