Question about my GPS System


AmberCachers

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

My husband and I are new to geocaching. I have a 2001 Magellan Meridian Gold that we are using to geocache. The only problem is when I go to put in the coordinates it will only let me put in two numbers instead of three. For example, if I want to go to 42. 156 I can only put in 42.15. How should I adjust for this? Should I round up or should I just drop off the third number?

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi & welcome to Geocaching :)

 

Check in the settings section of the GPS to see what coordinate format it is using. Be sure it is set to use "DD MM MMMM" (degrees minutes thousanths of a minute) not DD MM SS (degrees minutes seconds)

 

Sounds like the problem to me. You are using the wrong format. The MeriGold does support the format that this site uses.
