GPS coordinates question

[Colonel Angus]

I was going to give out some coordinates, but when I cross reference the coordinates from my boat to the maps on the game n fish etc, they aren't correct. Has anyone had this problem, or do I have an issue with the GPS in my boat?

same units? D M S.SSSS? D M.MMMMM?

 

[Colonel Angus]

Lowrance HDS7 has D M S.ss
GNF has D M.mmmmm

I plugged them into a website to get the conversions.

Cousin of mine has never fished that part of the lake before. Was going to give him a hand. I will have him stop by the house on his way up tonight. Maybe I will day trip it up there tomorrow to make sure he's on the right spot. Seems legit

or send him pics/screenshots of the screen of your graph - close enough

Just let him borrow your lake chip then he will know right where to go ::::;:

If your unit is different than the other I.e. D M S vs. D.xxx all you do is dive by 60. Theres 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in a degree.
