Sweden: List Of Vandrarhem For My Gps?

Recommended Posts

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

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!

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
