Description
Geocaching is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure.
A multi-cache involves two or more locations. Clues guide the geocacher from location to location. Sometimes these clues involve a puzzle, some calculations (e.g. on text or using roman numbers) or projecting a new waypoint using distances and bearings. Sometimes the calculations are easy, but this toolkit can help when calculations become tedious while out there in the field.
This geocaching toolkit can help you using the following features:
Waypoint Calculations
================
- Conversion of degrees, minutes and seconds to other formats
- Conversion between WGS84 and UTM coordinates
- For my Dutch friends the RD coordinates are included
- Also the Swiss grid is supported
- Show the entered Latitude/Longitude using the iPhone map application
- Project a waypoint by specifying distance and bearing
- Calculate distance and bearing between two waypoints
- Intersect two lines using two waypoints and bearings
- Intersect two circles using two waypoints and distances
Text Calculations
=================
- Calculate the sum of the character values in one or more words
- Choose between a=1, b=2 etc., the inverse a=26, b=25 etc. or the phonepad abc=2, def=3 etc.
- Also calculate the sum of all digits of the result
- Repeat summation of digits until 1 digit remains
Hint decryption
===============
- Decrypt encrypted hint text to plain text
Roman numbers
=============
- Convert between roman numbers and decimal values and vice versa
NOTE: This toolkit will work on an iPhone and an iPod touch.
If you use the GPS to determine your current location, best results are obtained using an iPhone 3G.
Calculated locations can be shown on google maps provided you have an internet connection.
More technical information and help can be found on the website igct.btstsoft.nl.
What's New in Version 1.4
Modified the transfer to the Maps app so the pin is dropped exactly on the latitude/longitude instead of the nearest street.

Great little app.
A good start
It does what it claims to do, and can be really useful on location.
Great tool
Can't enter a '.' when entering the seconds for dms, and it would be nice to able to read location on all screens to get coordinates, and do math on coordinates. Otherwise awesome and should be part of the official geocaching app
