How to put coordinates into gps?

GPS coordinates?

  • I've got a garmin etrex GPS device. I'm just playing about with it and I thought i'd see if I could transfer teh coordinates of the device and display its where-abouts using an online map website such as local.live.com. So, I ensure the GPS is giving me the WGS-84 coordinates, then type those coordinates into local.live.com and it places my location about 50 miles away in northhampton. What am I doing wrong??

  • Answer:

    Wild guess: Longitude co-ordinate is wrong? That would put you the wrong side of 0 degree line by a certain amount. I have a Garmin and I changed it to Ordnance Survey units. Much more useful!
