One field to enter waypoint coordinates instead of 6 fields

Hi fellow geocachers from Maine,

Just a note to let you know that I posted this idea this morning:
One field to enter waypoint coordinates instead of 6 fields

Should you agree, please vote (1, 2 ou 3 votes) and post a comment.

Thanks so much! :)

I think that is a great idea. GSAK lets you enter coordinates in many different formats, it makes entering coords much easier.

Bonjour, Luc!

He can't be your "alter ego" from Quebec. He didn't say "Sheesh!" in French at the beginning of his post. :D

Yeah, and he sounded like a nice guy.... :p

Yeah - I met him at the event in Quebec a couple of years ago. He's been a member of GCM.org for quite a while, and has contributed on several occasions. It refreshing to see GCM.org members from other areas visiting us on a regular basis - and joining in the discussions. :D:D

(Sacre Bleu! I wonder what the French translation of "Sheesh!" would be...)

Nice guy? You bet! :D

186 votes in 1½ days and a "under review" status given by Jeremy, the President and CEO of Groundspeak. Wow! Things are looking very good. :)

And, like Jeremy wrote in his note: In the meantime, please vote for the suggestion if you support it.

By the way, just click on "Vote" does not count for a vote. You must click on one of those 3 buttons to get your vote(s):

Hi fellow geocachers from Maine,

I posted this idea on the Groundspeak Idea Forum more the one year ago and even if they got a lot of votes, the idea is still not implemented. :mad:

So last weekend I decided to send the idea to a Greasemonkey Script Programmer who wrote the script in a few hours. :)

We both tested the very first version 0.0.1 and now the version 0.0.2 looks OK.

Geocache hiders, let me show you the new look of the Coordinates Box.

Coordinates Box without the script:

Coordinates Box using the script:

All you have to do is paste the coordinates into the unique field and clicks on "Fill".
Coordinates are then automatically entered into the 6 usual fields.

No more frustration and input errors.

To install this script:

1. You need a recent browser like Firefox.

2. If you don't have it already, install the Greasemonkey Add-on (here, the link is for the Firefox version of Greasemonkey).

3. And finally, install the script GC Easy Coordinate Entry.

Currently, the script version is only v0.0.2 but already functional.

The same script works also in the additional waypoint webpage.

Thank you very much to JRI for this great script! :)
