HAVING TROUBLE ENTERING GPS COORDS....NEED HELP ASAP !!!

[Slabstacker19]

Hey fellas, I am very familiar with my units and how they work but I am trying to enter coordinates that were given to me and they do not have the same format as what my unit will accept.My unit is set on WGS 84 and that is what the coords are formatted to also. Problem I have is my unit takes the coordinates as 3 set (N 31 .48 .759 ) (W 93. 69. 445) ..what I was given looks like this (N 31.48759)(W 93.69445) . I tried entering them as 3 sections but it doesn't work. When I try to enter the number 6 for 69 as the middle section of numbers in the Westing Coord it only gives my the option for 1-5 ???? Any tips would be appreciated...Calling Humminbird Now

Those convert to 31 29 15.324N and 93 41 40.02W (at least they do on my computer...)

You'll have to Google a coordinate converter and then determine what the format is of the coordinates you were given then convert them to your format. Or it maybe possible to change the format on your unit to the format of the coordinates you were given then enter them and then switch it back and the unit will convert them for you. If I had time I'd try to give you more specific info on websites ect. but I've got to go. Maybe this will help.

Got it fellas.....Hummingbird Rep was very quick and helpful. Just so you all know there is a selection called format settings if you are in advanced mode. There you can select three different types of coordinate structure that all fall under WGS 84.
