Geocaching Tools
It goes without saying that Wiki-pedia is a
geocachers best friend, but here are a few other resources
that I have used and continue to use to research new
puzzle caches and help me solve some of the headier
ones out there.
Translators
Binary
Translator
This application encodes and decodes ASCII and ANSI
text. Handy for some of those crazy code puzzle caches.
Babble
Fish
A pretty thorough language translator
GPS Coordinate Converter
About the most thorough Coordinate Converter I've
found.
GPS
Coordinate Converter, Maps and Info
Another Coordinate Converter I have used.
Masonic
Cipher
There are puzzles out there with this code maker.
Klingon
Pocket Dictionary
You might wonder why this is here. You will need it
soon...
Paperless
Resources
Geocaching
Quick Search
A handy little utility for anyone using a PDA or similar
handheld device in the field.

Find
a Grave
Great resource for researching the dead and buried.
Fox
Valley Memory
Probably the best research resource for anything history
related in the Fox Valley and one of my most referenced
links.
Puzzle Resources
Variety
Games
I've used software from this site to create custom crossword
puzzles.
Geochecker
Every puzzle should have a geochecker button to confirm
the puzzle solution and keep cachers from getting frustrated
in the field (unless that's your intent).
Evince
The other solution checker.
