Oregon 400T Waypoint projection

Running 2.94 is there a way to project distance (mile) in the thousants? After I entered the degrees, distance is next. Example .515 miles. All I see is 0000.0---. I can't enter the .515 of a mile, only .5 . Any ideas or am I doing something wrong? I did have to change it to feet, 2719.2 feet. I would rather not.

Converting to feet is your only option. Same problem with the bearing, I think it only works with whole degrees so sometimes you have to project twice and extrapolate between the two projections.

Move to Canada. We are metric. The math is a lot easier.

I am not sure what you guys are talking about. When I project it asks for bearing (less than a full degree isn't really necessary) and then it goes to select projection units where I everything from feet to nautical miles.

 

Do you have the lastest firmware update.

At about a .5 mile projection the difference in 1 degree is almost 50', so if you're looking for a cache it starts to matter at these distances.

 

The OP's question wasn't about which units were available during the projection (there are many), they were asking if they could get better precision when using miles as units, the answer to that is you can't get better than tenths of a mile with the current firmware.

Thanks, I hope they add this feature, it's a caching unit! It would be nice to have tenths, thousanths, and ten thousanths.
