Geocaching download helper tool

The gccom.py script can be used to download various resources from www.geocaching.com with your login-account. That means you can easily download LOC/GPX/whatever files automatically with a script. There's virtually no limitation due to its cookie-export feature. So you can export the logged-in cookie and use it in wget (for example). Wget will then download the pages as if you were logged into them on the webbrowser.

Coordinate conversion tool

Geoconv.py is a tool I use in-field while geocaching to convert between various coordinate formats.


Example usage:
$ ./geoconv.py 50 06.982, 006 32.823
050.1164* 050* 06.982' 050* 06' 59"
006.5471* 006* 32.823' 006* 32' 49"

 

ROT(x) en/decrypt tool

rot.py, a script to do rot13 (and more) en/decryption.

Geo-alphabet conversion tool

geophabet.py, a script to convert words to numbers with the A=1, B=2... rule.
