    Default GPS download Question


    I have a Lowrance 320 Sonar & GPS unit on my boat.
    I was attempting to download coordinates to Mapcreate 6 software,
    when I noticed the info did not match the readings on my unit.
    anyone experience this before or any suggestions?
    Thanks for all replies.

    Change the coordinate format in Map Create to the same as you use with your GPS.

    I checked manual and the file listed, and both show usr format.
    Manual says the software and gps unit are compatible.
    Software and card reader came with unit, I've just now tried to use.

    He means you can choose different Lat. and Long. cord. formats on your Gps such as
    Deg. Min. and Sec.

    Possumcop is right. This is what it looks like on my Map Creat 6.3
    This has to match what your GPS is using.

    Thanks IBNFHSN and Possumcop,
    I was able to adjust the settings and it now is correct.
    I would still be looking in manual trying to find a solution.
