+jonny the fox Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hid three today and am having trouble listing them. All on Dartmoor and I took the coordinate when I hid them. Now i'm back on the hide and seek section and I can't work out how to input the coordinate. GPS said SX 57869 67012 but website has not got this option to accept that format. Is there a way of converting from the British Grid system to Decimal Degrees??? Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Change your GPS settings over to H D M.M setting ensuring the datum is at WGS84, this should then display the correct co-ords. Best to leave it set at this as this is the format that is used worldwide. Quote Link to comment
+Magpie Guy Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I don't know about anyone else, but provided there is a suitable nearby landmark or object to refer to, I would suggest you double check the GPSr coord on Google Earth as it is pretty darn accurate. Quote Link to comment

That really can depend on the area. I've seen some that are spot on, but others that are some distance away. Nothing better than averaging several local readings if you ask me. Quote Link to comment
