Garmin GPS 60C

[CharlieZulu]

Hi folks:

 

When projecting a WP, the field where you enter a value for Distance in my 60C is in km, and only gives two significant digits anyway -- is there a way to change this to meters? I can't find anywhere in the menu system to change this.

Not sure about the 60C, but on my Magellan GPS units, plus my Colorado - if I enter in 0.1 km it automatically flips over to metres (and then lets me enter in a smaller number)

I have the 60Cx, pretty sure you can't change this. You are restricted to 10m accuracy (0.01).

You can actually go down to 0.01 m by pressing on the right arrow to move the highlight to km, clicking Enter to get the pop-up menu, then click m.

When you bring up the screen for projecting the waypoint move the cursor over to hilite the 'km' and press enter. This will bring up a list of "mi, ft, yd, km, m and nm" to choose from.
