[Taxacom] conversion of GPS coordinates UTM into LatLong

[Haas, Fabian]

I believe yopu can type in Coordinates into Google Earth and see where you get. In the settings/options/preferences you can chose the output format of goggle and they show up in the bottom line in any of the standard formats.

There is also a free webpage, of which I have forgotten the name. GPS Conversion or so. Let me get back to office and I check my links. You can upload coordinates and get them converted then, and download as file, if I recall right.

Does anyone of you know a tool, either spreadsheet or online service, that can be used to convert GPS coordinates from UTM into Latitude/Longitude? There are some online tools but these can only be used for conversions of single locations. I’m looking for a tool that is capable of converting batches of say 100 or more locations in one run.

* the thing I've traditionally done is to format the co-ordinates for
input into a GPS program as waypoints, and then converting and exporting
them in the desired format. But some later-generation GPS programs won't
accept bulk imports of ascii waypoints...
