Does anyone know why the coordinates that download to EasyGPS/my gpsr are different than what is listed on the cache's page?

 

EX: "Example Cache" N 30° 27.217 W 084° 13.694 - This is the actual listed coords on the geo page.

 

"This is what downloads to easygps" - N 30° 27.13 W 084° 13.41

 

"This is what downloads to my gpsr" - N 30° 27.03 W 084° 10.04

 

Thanks in advance,

Tom

Woah, that is odd. It sounds like there is something set wrong in one of the steps there, check to make sure that all of your settings are correct, such as having the same Datum selected for all the different steps.

 

Other than that I dunno....but I'm sure someone else will.

The coords on GC.com are show in Degrees Decimal Minutes (DD MM.mmm).

 

Your EasyGPS is set to Degrees Minutes Seconds (DD MM SS). You can change it to DD MM.mmm in one of the setup screens.

(N 30° 27.217 W 084° 13.694 is the same as N 30° 27' 13" W 084° 13' 41")

 

Not sure what you're getting on the GPS...that could be a datum issue. Make sure your GPS is also set to DD MM.mmm and set the datum to WGS-84

That was the problem. They were all set to a diff coord system....d'oh!

 

Thanks a bunch ~
