GPS problem with co-ordinate format

andrew kennedy · Jan 5, 2011

I want to change the format in my GPS to decimal degrees - any one know how I can achieve this????? Andrew. I know I can change the co-ordinate format by going to a web site but I am 'on the move' in Europe and the internet is not always available.

What make and model GPS are we talking here?

What software is it running?

Are we connecting to a laptop or have a stand alone sat nav unit?

One possible answer is:

Options --> advanced options --> Coordinates tab --> Select Decimal Degrees --> Ok --> Ok --> restart

I assume he's now in an area where the internet is not available.

Call me stupid but I'd have googled it for a fast definitive answer especially if internet connection was patchy.

and they call me loony
