Garmin 50 settings??

[Bacup lad]

Hi All
I know iam being a bit thick :sad:

Could Someone please tell me what settings I should apply to my Garmin 50 smart drive sat nav for the poi's longitude/latitude.

Ive put in the POI download ok ect but iam stuck on what Position/coordinate format I should be using.


Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks
John

The latitude and longitude format is irrelevant if you are accessing POIs installed on the device.

The format only comes into play if you wish to enter manually a position e.g. a printed location in a given format.

Hi Chris thanks for replying
I may have complicated the post by mentioning the POI's

The main question is when I want to manually put in a location in Longtitude and Latitude into the sat nav what setting should I be using for its coordinates .

Hope you can help with this

Thanks
John

As I suggested you choose the format to match the format of the latitude and longitude supplied.

Have a look at these links:

Garmin Drive 40/50/60 - Finding a Location Using Coordinates

How To Read GPS Coordinates | Ubergizmo

Hopefully this makes things clearer.

I have now got to the bottom of it.
The setting's I was asking for should have been " what coordinate format do I need to set sat nav to" the one I have now changed to is :- h ddd.dddddd :banana:

Thank you and keep up the good work
