Garmin GPSMAP 64S - Coordinate Format Issue

Recommended Posts

Hi - I just recently picked up a new 64 and I changed the format to Hddd.ddddd, however, when I add a data field "locations (lat/long)" it shows in degrees. Any way to change that?

 

If there isn't a way, what I am doing is using the device for surveying and I need to be able to capture the coordinates in the format I listed above. Any way to capture my location another way?

 

Thanks

The "location (lat/long)" data field only displays coordinates in lat/long. However, there should be another choice for the data field called "location (selected)" that should display your coordinates in whatever format you have currently chosen.

 

Here's a link to the owner's manual. While it doesn't always have the information I'm looking for, I have found it to be somewhat helpful in customizing my gps.
