Convert Aus Geo '66 co-ords to WGS-84
Hi,
I have the co-ord for the GZ of a puzzle that are in Aus Geo 66 and I have no way to convert them to WGS-84 since I use my mobile phone as my GPS. Found some shareware programs on the web, but nothing simple or free.
Can anyone out there with a "real" GPS convert these co-ords for me please?

So, now I've got the co-ords of a puzzle cache that's too far away to find

OziExplorer will do it, even the free version.
EDIT: I've already solved that one, but haven't been up there with time to find it.

Re: Convert Aus Geo '66 co-ords to WGS-84
Thanks for that. I eventually found a program called mapgrids that will do it, but only in DMS and decimal degrees. Far too many conversions for me to trust what was going on. Especially away from my home turf.Big Matt and Shell wrote:According to the Oregon,

I am guessing that you are trying to find Sudoko Samba? If I'm right

I've removed the final co-ords from this thread.

Re: Convert Aus Geo '66 co-ords to WGS-84
Sorry about that. Should have asked for a PM if someone could help. I WAS careful not to post the name of the cache, but it would have been obvious had someone started poking around.caughtatwork wrote:I've removed the final co-ords from this thread.

Do a search for GDAy or GDAit along with the appropriate National66 NTv2 distortion grid.

Thats what it is about. If a new rule is made it should only apply to new content.
