For all the above use this for precision adjustment(sort of rounding, 6 is good) avoids .999999 type answers

Degrees Minutes Seconds => <= Decimal Degrees
(values in degrees minutes seconds will be automatically adjusted modulo 360, 60 and 60 respectively)

Convert to and from Decimal Latitude and Longitude AND GRS-80 zone and Grid coordinates using Redfearn formula
Note: entering silly values in these cells may give you coordinates in an alternate universe.

Decimal Latitude Decimal Longitude

GRS-80 Zone Easting Northing

See an implementation of this with google maps API which I am experimenting with here. Hint go there on your mobile phone to use geolocation

Calculate Bearing between two grid references (can be any even number of digits usually 6 or 8)

point A point B True Bearing A to B in degrees

Wind Chill Calculator (Metric)
Wind speed in km/h	Temperature in Centigrade	=>	Effective wind chill temperature.

Wind Chill Calculator (Imperial)
Wind speed in mph	Temperature in Faremheit	=>	Effective wind chill temperature.
