FAQs

Q. How does the option to convert to UTM work?

A. 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/

Q. I need to enter -0 in the longitude field but it won't let me. Help?

A. 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.

Q. I have found a bug or have an improvement I would like. Who do I

contact?
A. Just Mail me (Chris Shepherd) at Chris@fabalou.com and I will see what I
can do.

Q. This is just the best bit of software on the planet. I must pay you
something for it?
A. 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.

Q. Where do I get the latest version of this Spreadsheet?

A. 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)

Q. Chris will you stop sending me the latest version of this Spreadsheet?
A. Just Mail me (Chris Shepherd) at Chris@fabalou.com and I will remove you
from the mailing list.

Q. I thought you said there wasn't going to be any macros?

A. 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

Q. Conversion from OS seems to be a bit inaccurate?

A. 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

Q. I have a problem with the sheet?

A. Click the help link at the top of this page for our website and more help.

Q. I need to convert Waypoints to a different file format?

A. Try Geobuddy (http://www.geobuddy.com/) or GPSBabbel
(http://gpsbabel.sourceforge.net/)

Q. Why when entering UTMs for northern latitiudes do I have to put a 1 in

front ?
A. No idea! It just works that way.

Q. I'm trying to read in a multicache and not all the points are being
recognised
A. 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 (Chris@fabalou.com) with the
details of the page you are trying to input & I will attempt to fix the
problem

Q. What is the Reference column for?

A. The reference column is a free text field. It is only Exported in the QLD
import/Exports which are provided for a specific user.

Q. How do I get distances in Statute not Metric?

A. 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. Choose Import... in the File Menu of MapSource and specify the name of
the PCX5 file.

Q. When I clear the screen I get a single line of coordintes appear - why?

A. 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.
