Wild T2 Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Divide the seconds by 60 and add to the minutes. Your first example 39 12' 15.74742" is 39 12.2633' Or set your receiver to DMS and don’t bother with the conversion. Quote Link to comment
solohiker Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Go to the setup menu of your GPS. Change your navigation settings on your GPS format to hddmmss.sss enter the coordinates. Go back and change your navigation settings to hddd mm.mmm. I go back and forth between different formats and datums all the time. The GPS does the conversions automatically. Quote Link to comment
