:) New Garmin GPS Coordinates Format "h ddd mm.mmmm"

Former Member over 9 years ago

In New Garmin device the Coordinates Format, comes as “h ddd mm.mmmm” instead of “ h ddd mm.mmm” in all standard /typical Garmin devices.

The point is if we receive POI coordinates in “h ddd mm.mmm” format, how can we enter it in the new Garmin device with "h ddd mm.mmmm" format? in another word what do I put for 4th “m” in new coordinates format ("h ddd mm.mmmm").

You’ve posted this in the Garmin BaseCamp forum which really has nothing to do with your query about a device issue. Might help though if you said which device?

The device is Garmin DriveLuxe

50LM.
The enquiry about coordinates format, which we might come cross even in Garmin baseComp software when searching through coordinates, Garmin BaseComp/ Find/ Location coordinates/ select a grid/ lat/lon hddd mm.mmm.

I searched through Garmin Forums, and found the closest form is Garmin baseComp as it used coordinates with different formats while searching. :)

Please raise this with Garmin support as this is a device issue, indeed I suspect it's a software issue that will need to be corrected with an update.
