GPS Toolkit

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....

Measure distance:
On the following pages you can measure distance between several points, by clicking points on the map.

The result can be saved on this site or can be downloaded directly.

There are various settings possible.

To keep it easy, you can use the pages with predefined settings:

>> Measure distance for auto/motorcycle...

>> Measure distance for bike, in a.o. the Netherlands...

>> Measure distance for bike, in other countriesmeasure distance for walking or mountain biking (MTB/ATB)

>> Measure distance othersmeasure distance with personal settings...

GPS Latitude and Longitude Converter, convert from any of three various GPS co-ordinate designations.

This page presents a variety of calculations for latitude/longitude points, with the formulæ and code fragments for implementing them.

All these formulæ are for calculations on the basis of a spherical earth (ignoring ellipsoidal effects) – which is accurate enough* for most purposes…

>> Calculators:
*Great-circle distance between two points...
*Bearing...
*Midpoint...
*Destination point given distance and bearing from start point...
*Intersection of two paths given start points and bearings...
*Rhumb lines...
*Convert between degrees-minutes-seconds & decimal degrees...

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...

EasyGPS is the fast and easy way to upload and download waypoints, routes, and tracks between your Windows computer and your Garmin, Magellan, or Lowrance GPS.

EasyGPS lists all of your waypoints on the left side of the screen, and shows a plot of your GPS data on the right.

Use EasyGPS to back up and organize your GPS data, print maps, or load new waypoints onto your GPS for your next hike or geocaching adventure.

EasyGPS works with every popular handheld GPS receiver, and it is 100% FREE!

This tool allows you to use to quickly log your geocaching adventures on Geocaching.com.

No more searching for caches and clicking around the geocaching website. Just list the caches you've found, edit your log and post!

Cache lists can simply be Geocaching waypoints (GCXXXX) or from CacheMate, an excellent Geocaching application for Palm OS.

This tool was created to compensate for the cumbersome search on geocaching.com.

This page is optimized for quick loading, especially on mobile devices.

For known wireless devices, it will use the printer-friendly version of the page rather than the full one.

Key Features:

- Quickly draw points using coordinate data in Excel.

- Create new drawings or update existing ones by establishing an open channel with AutoCAD.

- Create "true" 3D faces or simply connect all points with a 3D polyline. For the 3D modelling, XLPoints Plus uses the powerful Delaunay triangulation algorithm.

- 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).

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.

GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes between popular GPS receivers and mapping programs.

It also has powerful manipulation tools for such data.

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.
