Mud Dancer Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 I'm using cachly to project a waypoint 177 degrees for .47 miles. It placed it in the middle of a road (I know the cache is in the woods) and within .1 radius of another cache, so I went online and ran the same projection (using a projection tool from the Internet) and got different results. I then projected in cachly using 2481.6 feet instead of the .47 miles and got the same result as the online projection. I hesitate to post any coordinate info in the forum as it's a puzzle final. I tried it with a couple different starting points and same inconsistent answer. I also experimented and used 1 mile and then 5280 feet and got a different result for each of those. I'm running the latest available version of cachly and I run on an iPhone with iOS10.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlands_guy Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 I just did a test and it looks like Cachly is using nautical miles. 1 mile = 6076 feet. Try your .47 mile projection at .4084 nautical mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Hubbard Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 My math for calculating miles to meters (we use meters to do the coordinate conversion) was a bit off. This will be fixed in 3.1.1. Sorry about that, but thanks for catching it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
