  • Yarmoss Yarmoss Hey, to be honest I pulled those coordinates off the DoC website article for the Rabbit Pass crossing. I always check DoC's site for length-of-track information (they didnt have that) but noticed they had marked this bivys grid reference. I used to understand Easting and Northings but have long since forgotten it, so I stick with grid references, sorry.

  • Honora Honora Oh, I did it myself from the site and I got 44 20 16.500 S 168 52 18.400 N5643994.1, E2180921.1 but just sussing it from the MapData map it was more accurate! for that, I got NZMG N5643955,E2180821,

  • Honora Honora HI Yarmoss Can we have those grid refs in NZMG too? The website that does those conversions is: http://www.linz.govt.nz/geodetic/conversion-coordinates/online-conversion-service/converter/index.aspx?IS=NZMG&OS=NZTM&IO=NE&IC=H&IH=-&OO=NE&OC=H&OH=-&PN=N&IF=T&ID=+&OF=H&OD=+&CI=Y&do_entry=Enter+coordinates&DEBUG=&ADVANCED=0
