Has anyone seen any software than can convert Melway references (map, alpha & digit) to Latitude and Longitude ?

That shouldn't be too hard. Once you have one translation, reverse is easy !

This site has Oziexplorer NameSearch files for Sydway and UBD Australia wide, but not Melway, I'm afraid...

That one's easy; don't know about being able to reverse it though. Just use the street-directory.com.au web site. Paste<br>
VIC Street-Directory=http://www.street-directory.com.au/aus_ ... 20%name<br>
into the GSAK Custom URLs section of the HTML tab under Tools/Options. You will then see them in the list that appears when you right-click on a cache and select custom url. The cache will be marked on the resulting Street Directory map with a cross, and a Melways Directory reference for suburban caches, or a VICROADS Directory reference for the out-of-town ones, in the top right corner.
