I got two questions regarding GPS units, please. (I have the Garmin etrex Legend HCx.) I know how to put in coordinates manually - but there are different ways the same coordinates can be written. For example, in Google earth the coordinates are listed as:
Lat: 40°19'53.62"N
Lon: 111°45'49.58"W
But, my Garmin would give the same coordinates as this:
Lat: 40°19.818’
Lon: 111°45.875’
1) I’m trying to figure out how to convert the Google coordinates and put it into my Garmin
and,
2) is there a web map of some kind where you can place a marker and then have a "send to GPS" feature (as there is in something like for geocaching)?
thanks in advance! [cool]
