leslazu Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hi guys, this is the first time I join the forums. I made a mistake since the beginning; I bought a Magellan and not a garmin and now I am suffering the consequences. Anyway, I went recently to Malawi and Zambia and I have all my point in UTM but I want to convert then to LAT/LONG. I have tried several websites but for some reason there is a problem for the southern hemishpere. Does anyone know a good solution? Thank you Leslie Quote Link to comment

Just set it up to use UTM and input the WP's into the unit. Then change the unit to use whatever format you want and then look up the WP's and they will be in the new format. If you have a PC you can use the free FizzyCalc software. Quote Link to comment
