GPS Sway

GPS Sway is a simple coordinate conversion program. It handles all forms of latitude and longitude (degrees, degrees minutes, degrees minutes seconds) as well as UTM coordinates and will convert from any form to another. It also handles signs or character direction.

While weighing in at only 124kb the program provides advanced features. This program works great to get coordinates in any form for any program. Uses include taking coordinates from your GPS receiver or Google Earth and translating them into a standardized form. In addition, UTM coordinates are easy to find on paper maps while lattitude and longitude are much more difficult, converting coordinates into UTM allows for easy map reading.

Features

• Handles all standard coordinates (DDD.DDDD°, DDD° MM.MMM', DDD° MM' SS.SSS")
• Handles UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) coordinates and zones
• Very small memory footprint
• Includes or removes unit symbols (°,',")
• Allows entering of coordinates with signs (west and south are negative) or via cardinal directions (N,S,E,W)
• Works for NAD83 and WGS84 Datums only
• Very fast
• Extremely simple
