• 01 How does the Elipsoid/Date Converter work?

  In this function coordinates are calculated from one rotational ellipsoid to another. Here it is also possible to select between ellipsoids of different validity periods. A coordinate is displayed on the map, since it is still the same point.

• 06 How can I use subformulas?

  Now it is possible, for example, that you have the formulas that you want to calculate only partially (e.g. formulas for whole coordinates, see next picture). Formulas can be divided into sub-formulas. Square brackets are used for this. Square brackets are now considered by the formula solver as...

• 05 How are formulas interpreted?

  After the input of variables and values, the formula solver tries to interpret the respective formulas mathematically. To do this, the variables of the formulas are replaced with the entered values. The resulting text is then examined by the formula solver. If the solver now finds a mathematically...

• 01 How can I create formula groups?

  A formula group combines different formulas and values, for example the formulas for individual stages of a Geocache or one formula for the north and one for the east coordinate. Each formula group has its own set of values and formulas. For example, if you create several formula groups, the...

• 02 How does the Hash-Search work?

  Since hashes represent a one-way encryption, it is not possible to infer the original input directly from a hash. However, if the formatting is known, especially for the coordinates, then a "brute force attack" can be performed. Here, the known hash and as much information as possible is given for...

• 04 How are formulas interpreted?

  The interpretation of the formula is done internally with the means of the formula calculator. The difference is that a formula is not interpreted with a fixed set of variable values, but just all specified ranges of all variables are combined and the resulting variable combinations are used...

• 06 Can I also take a bearing / projection?

  In addition to coordinate interpolations, the tool also offers the possibility of taking bearings/projections at the same time. For illustration a simpler example is taken here (note the strongly simplified notation of the coordinate format, which is correctly interpreted as DMM at the...

• 05 How are non-three-digit milliminutes interpreted in DMM format?

  ...been an ongoing and very heated discussion. The GCWizard offers here the possibility to choose between both interpretations by means of an option switch (only with the DMM format!). The calculated coordinates can then be displayed on the map. Here you can see the coordinates with the first DMM...

• 03 How do I enter the value range?

  Unlike the formula calculator, several values (comma separated) or ranges (hyphen) can be entered here. With the ranges, there is also the possibility to specify the step size (by a hash after the range specification), so that, for example, only every 2nd value within the range is used. In the...

• 02 How can I enter or insert a formula?

  Enter the coordinate formula for which you want to try unknown variables. For the input of the formulas the same rules apply as for the formula calculator. In particular, the part about subformulas applies here, since the variable coordinate tool requires an interpretable coordinate format,...

• 01 Why is there a Variable Coordinate function?

  The "Variable Coordinate" tool can be used as a stand-alone tool. However, it shows its real power in combination with the formula calculator. If a formula could already be filled with some values there, you can copy the partially filled formula and paste it into the Variable Coordinate tool. The...

• 01 How do I measure my current position?

  The "Measure coordinates" function is used, for example, to determine the exact coordinate of a placed cache for the listing. After the start of the measurement, a new average of the measured coordinates in the interval of 5 seconds is formed again and again and its accuracy is indicated....
