The LeyFinder.exe Software Application is a Ley Line/Lines Finder/Hunter for the IBM PC Windows 98/2000/NT/ME/XP environment, and is available for free download.

Description:

Finds straight lines of ancient sites given their grid references, the minimum wanted in a line and the chosen 'accuracy' of the line. Plots the sites and found lines on a 'map' of the chosen area. Map can be saved to a file, both before and after plotting of lines.

NB This program is designed solely for use with grid references on grid systems not extending over more than 600 miles (1,000 kilometres). It is not designed for use with latitude and longitude and does not employ any spherical trigonometry in its calculations.
