Problems with coordinates on your GPS?

Hi there. I am only new to this hobby (5 months). I do not know if this is the correct place to put this but here goes. I had problems with my coordinates not being correct on my Magellan Explorist 510. I could find Geocaches very accurately but the coordinates were out according to other Cachers GPS's. I was told to change the Datum to an Australian one (as I live in Sydney) so I did. But that made little difference. In the end I found out that the default setting on my GPS was on Degrees only. I changed it to Degrees/Minutes and it corrected it straight away.

 

Just thought that I would put this post in case any other newbie had the same issue.

 

See you in the field

 

Hillster.
