Team HSKK GPS Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Can anyone help me with a conversion formula to make degrees/minutes/seconds into a Garmin waypoint ending with XX.XXX? Thanks....Team HSKK GPS Quote Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 You shouldn't need a formula. Read your owners manual, you should have the option of changing your settings. If not here is a link for you. http://www.mentorsoftwareinc.com/FREEBIE/FREE1198.HTM Tahosa - Dweller of the Mountain Tops. Quote Link to comment
+geomapper Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 I found this neat Degree/Minute/Second Converter utility some months ago. It's very handy. You can download it at: http://www.mentorsoftwareinc.com Look under the Freebies tab for the Novermber 1998 Freebie of the Month. Quote Link to comment
+geomapper Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Looks like Tahosa beat me to the draw while I was looking for the site. Quote Link to comment
+Brown Dwarf Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 DD.DDDD = D + M/60 + S/3600. This also works: DD.DDDD = D + M.MMM/60. [use it when only degrees and minutes are given.] Easy enough to set up on a spreadsheet. Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 And once again - both of those answers (the software and the formula) are available on my FAQ. Markwell Chicago Geocaching Quote Link to comment
