GPS Visualizer
GPS Visualizer can create Google Earth KML files from GPS data files (tracklogs & waypoints), street addresses, or simple coordinates.
This form will import your GPS data file (e.g., GPX), or plain-text data (tab-delimited or CSV), and create a KML file that you can view in the Google Earth application or import into Google's "My Maps"/"My Places" system....

XYZworks Triangulate - Android Apps on Google Play
This is useful for reporting or locating wild fires, for landowners, firefighters, land surveyors, boaters, pilots and anyone wanting to know the coordinates of a remote point without going there:
Hikers, geocachers, scientific research, rangers, search and rescue, amateur radio direction finding (ARDF, transmitter hunting), location of radio tagged animals. No cell phone coverage needed! No data plan needed, except if you choose to email the info to someone.
Triangulate uses your built-in GPS and compass on a camera view to get 2 points and bearings from each.
It then computes the location you are pointing at. The 3 points and lines connecting them can then be displayed with your choice of mapping program (using KML files) , online or offline, for both mobile and desktop computers...

- Generate all 3D faces or boundary (exterior) faces only.
- Define point styles and layer colors.
- Draw 3D objects in separate layers.
- Apply labels to the points using ID data, coordinates, or both.
- Automatically read text data files which include descriptive lines (for example, TOPCON instruments readings).
GPS Visualizer: Web interface to GPSBabel
An easy-to-use on-line interface for converting a GPS data file with GPSBabel.
GPSBabel is a freeware program that converts GPS data from one format to another.
You can download it and run it on almost any computer, but its command-line interface requires some getting used to -- so I've created this on-line gateway that lets you access a copy of gpsbabel running on GPSVisualizer.com.
Of course, you can't use this page to communicate with your GPS receiver -- and a few of GPSBabel's more advanced options (filters and custom XCSV files) aren't included.

GCHAC1 Bronze and Stone (Multi-cache) in New Hampshire, United States created by boulter

Geocaching is a treasure hunting game where you use a GPS to hide and seek containers with other participants in the activity.
Geocaching.com is the listing service for geocaches around the world.
This multi-cache will take you on a walking tour of downtown Manchester's interesting collection of statues of historical figures.
All of the answers and the solution to the final coordinates of the cache can be found on or around these structures made of bronze and stone.
You can drive to each waypoint, but it might be easier to find parking once near the first waypoint and walk the rest.
You can do the waypoints in any order but the most efficient loop is to do them in the listed order.
Let's get started!
