.loc download dd.dddd

Well, it's been a long time since I used .loc, but the friend I've introduced to the sport is using an eTrex with a basic membership, and so is using .loc downloads. He's getting coordinates that are off - sometimes way off, several hundred feet. I just did a plain search on our zip code, and got the usual list, and selected all, and downloaded the .loc file. When I opened it in mapsource, the waypoints are off. Even when I changed the format to dd.ddd, the way points are off. When I opened the source file using Notepad, the coordinates are off! Has something changed?

 

I had his GPSr set for dd mm.mmm, but the .loc format of dd.dddd doesn't seem to work even if I set both mapsource and the GPSr to dd.dddd. Anybody got the obvious answer I can't seem to see????

 

Thanks

Lew
