Geo Casher Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hi everyone. Are the coords. on cache pages the same as the ones on my Platinum? Should I change any settings on my GPSr before I go out and try my first cache? I've read everything I could find, but, I'm a little confused. Thanks. Geo Quote Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 As long as our GPSr is set to WGS84 they are the same. Most units come set that way so there should not be a problem. Quote Link to comment
+CapnJackSparrow Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 The whole idea is that the coordinates you are looking for are the ones posted. Is you question perhaps that the format is different? If so, your user manual should show you how to change the format to comply with your personal use of your GPSr. Quote Link to comment

vagabond Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 go to menu hilight setup hit enter, highlight map datum hit enter, primary should be highlighted hit enter, wgs 84 should be hilighted if not hilight wgs84 and hit enter, then hit escape back to your starting screen. Best thing to do is cover your ears and run away as fast as you can, before it gets you Quote Link to comment
