Back to Mass Input Sheet Help
Absolutly no idea! I came across a spreadsheet that seems to do the work & have imported it wholesale. If you want to understand more about UTM conversions I suggest you take a look at:
http://www.gpsy.com/gpsinfo/geotoutm/
I need to enter -0 in the longitude field but it won't let me. Help?
If you live as close to Greenwich as I do this is a real pain. Excel (quite logically) treats -0 as equal to 0 and ignores the minus. Enter zero into the degrees decimal box and W or West into the East West box and it works OK.
I have found a bug or have an improvement I would like. Who do I contact?
Just Mail me (Chris Shepherd) at [email protected] and I will see what I can do.
This is just the best bit of software on the planet. I must pay you something for it?
This is Freeware, provided as is with no guarantees of accuracy and no right to sue me if it gives the wrong locations. If you must put your hand in your pocket make a donation at www.geocaching.com and support the worlds best hobby.
This is a work in progress and just as soon as I work out how to do it I will add extra conversions. Existing users will be sent them automatically as they are released. If you didn't get your version from me - that's Ok. Just Mail me (Chris Shepherd)

I thought you said there wasn't going to be any macros?
There are 2 versions of the Sheet Lite and the Waypoint Workbench. In order to provide the functionality of exporting and importing it was necessary to use macros. If you don't like me having this access to your PC then please use the Lite version whic
I have tested the conversion and it seems to be OK for 6 figures. The extra digits seem to vary a bit between conversion system - I will try to get it more accurate when I get time. 6 Digits puts you in a square 100meters wide. Which is good enough to
I have a problem with the sheet?Click the help link at the top of this page for our website and more help.
Try Geobuddy (http://www.geobuddy.com/) or GPSBabbel (http://gpsbabel.sourceforge.net/)
Why when entering UTMs for northern latitiudes do I have to put a 1 in front ?
I'm trying to read in a multicache and not all the points are being recognised
The system attempts to track down co-ords bassed on them being in standard Decimal Minutes format.If you discover a problem please mail me ([email protected]) with the details of the page you are trying to input & I will attempt to fix the problem
The reference column is a free text field. It is only Exported in the QLD import/Exports which are provided for a specific user.
If you go to "Show/Hide" columns you can change the option if you show the distance column.
Q. How do I Import the PCX5 file into Mapsource?A.
Q.
A.
Choose Import... in the File Menu of MapSource and specify the name of the PCX5 file.

Goto Settings, Distance Tab and uncheck the setting "Always add home coordinates to first line of Waypoint Workbench. Or change these to your home coords.
