I just gained back the interest in my Openmoko Freerunner and Geocaching with it. It's due to the discovery of Kustomizer, which makes OM2008.12 really usable and a new great Python tool called Mokogeocaching.Posted by Administrator
I always waited for a tool to automate the entry of Geocaches into the TangoGPS poi database.
When I searched for a little bug in the code my interest in writing a small tool myself and to improve my Python skills rose.
One thing I missed so far was the ability to calculate the bearing from one point to another on the go. Sometimes on multi caches the next point is just indicated by an angle and the distance.
I created a small python script called coordversion (A mixture of coordinate and conversion). Now you have the possibility to calculate the exact point.
Another thing could be, that the coordinates to the next spot are given in the wrong presentation. Now you don't need to know how to convert them and carry a calculator.
You can find the Download here.
