State Plane Conversion to Long/Lat with These Tools

To answer Gary's question in the comments, I have dug up a few tools for simple conversion of State Plane Coordinates to Longitude/Latitude.

    awesome... a few of these no longer exist but there are a few that are quite awesome..

  • Wow, what a load of resources. Now we need a sheet with all the links on it in txt format so we can download it and put in on our server or backup media under CoordinateSystems. I still have not see a spread sheet with the tools built into it for the conversion but I am more hopeful that there is someone out there who has one to share. Thanks.

      State Plane Coordinates

      The State Plane Coordinate system provides coordinates
      on a flat grid for easy computation while maintaining
      a difference between geodetic and grid distance of
      one part in 10,000 or better.

      The State Plane Coordinate system divides the U.S. into
      a hundred or more distinct grid surfaces (Zones).

      Do not mix coordinates from one Zone with that in another.
      In you need to cross Zone boundaries, use Geodetic Positions.

      The utilities in this package provide methods for converting
      between Geodetic Positions and State Plane Coordinates
      or for finding an SPC Zone.

      For more information about the State Plane Coordinate System contact:
