Entering coordinates in Garmin eTrex... HELP!


Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

I'm completely new to this malarky and have just gotten my Etrex, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to put the coordinates in!!

 

I was told in another post that I should be able to enter it manually, but maybe I'm missing something?

 

I've been looking at a cache I wanted to hunt for with my kids today, and I presume you should enter this: N52° 20.149 W 001° 33.227 ? If not, please educate me!

 

The only thing I found that can be altered in way of coordinates looks like this: SP 284 BNG 70715, and I presume that has something to do with the British National Grid?

 

Please help!! :laughing:

you have the wrong position format setup you need to change it to hddd mm.mmm'

 

Go to main menu

 

set up

 

units

 

and then select hddd mm.mmm' position format

 

then when you input the coords N52° 20.149 W 001° 33.227 you'll have the correct format
