+cashncarrie Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Just purchased a Garmin 62s and would like to know if I can set two of the dashboard settings to show the latitude and longitude? I have a Magellan explorist GC and it was an option on it. Thanks Dennis Quote Link to comment
+Mallah Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It is a setting unique to each 'Profile' rather than dashboard. I have one profile set up for caching which shows Lat/Lon, and another profile set up for walking which shows Brit Grid. You can spend hours playing with profiles and the various dashboards available. Quote Link to comment

+BCNorwich Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hello, I noticed your question yesterday but I don't have the 62s so didn't answer. Have a look at it might show you roughly how things are changed in the profiles/dashboard. Regards Bernard Quote Link to comment
+Mallah Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Can you tell me how to get to this option to change/add the lat/longitude? Thank You. Hi, explains how to change the position format. First select the profile you want then follow the guidance on the vid. You can also change the title of each profile if you want. Quote Link to comment

Mike, Thanks for your help..looks like the geocaching preference has its limits on the dashboard choices. Dennis Quote Link to comment
xyzee Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 As a workaround backup, you should be able to set up the Location (lat/lon) and the Location (selected) in any page that gives you the choice of 2 Wide Data Fields. I was using the Classic Profile, during the short time that I had a 62s in the summer of 2010. I didn't dink around much in the dashboards. Quote Link to comment

It's easy to redesign the standard profiles that are pre set to suit you. It just takes a bit of time as there are SO many options. As I said earlier, I have renamed a couple of the profiles to names that make more sense to me. Quote Link to comment
