Convert between various geographic coordinate systems.
UTM Coordinate Converter, converts between various geographic coordinate systems, allowing you to convert between various Latitude/Longitudes systems and the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) system. It includes a map that displays the location you converter, as well the map allows to select a location you would like converted (see Features for more details). The converter supports converting between locations in Decimal Degrees, Degree Minutes, Degree Minutes Seconds and UTM. The following UTM Datums are supported: NAD83/WGS84, GRS80, WGS72, NAD27, GDA94, AGD84, ED50, OSGB36, Krasovsky 1940 and Everest 1830. UTM Coordinate Converter uses OpenStreetMaps, and supports Mapnik, OSM Cycle Map, Bing Aerial Maps, MapQuest-OSM, and MapQuest Open Aerial
I've downloaded this app 5 times and it continues to come up with a "File is damaged..." error when I try to run it. It looked really promising with a nice implementation, but until I can get it to work, it only gets 1 star. MacBook Pro, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, OS X 10.8.4, 8GB RAM<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jul 26, 2013<p/>Solved the "File is damaged..." problem -- friggin' Gatekeeper in Mountain Lion -- AGAIN! (I keep forgetting about it).
But now that I have the app running, nothing works. Just a bunch of buttons that can't be pressed and a bunch of text boxes that won't allow me to enter anything.
Sigh :-( Rating remains at 1 until I can see this application work...<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jul 29, 2013<p/>After contacting the developer, an updated version was released which solved both the Gatekeeper problem in Mountain Lion AND the non-working buttons and edit boxes.
For doing quick conversions between the various coordinate systems, it performs well. For geocachers with puzzles that require coordinate finagling, it's a good resource.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jul 29, 2013<p/>Can't seem to get the star rating to update, but now that the app is working, I'd give it a 4.
Pros -- allows for multiple coordinate system datums, easy entering of various formats for degrees, minutes, seconds, and the ability to see locations on the map.
Cons -- sometimes the map redraws are a tiny bit sluggish, but that's due to third party services
