- "Back in the day" this was just regular everyday math, easy problems to solve even taking into account spherical surfaces and all that stuff. Now, I barely remember the words and have no clue how I did it. BUT... I do have a tool that will do this with the precision that you need. You can see http://tinyurl.com/9xaez for a list of a lot of handy tools that would come in handy. The specific tool that can solve these things and make it child's play is GeoCalc. It is a handy Coordinate ciphering tool. It does all sorts of neat stuff that might come in handy some day. http://www.fizzymagic.net/Geocaching/GeoCalc/GeoCalc.html#Introduction Glenn hanging out close to "the facilities" Susan Ring wrote: > - > I only understand about half the words, but I work with people who have > "discussions" like this!
