    OK, I have a problem and since I am not an expert, I am asking this forum for help.
    I have a Gaming GPS which quotes as an example 28.52.201N and 082.46.982W
    HOWEVER, I found around co-ordinates quoted as 28.54.99W and 82.52.29W.
    The co-ordinates are irrelevant but I wonder how to change one system into the other or vice versa.
    One set of quotation is all the way with TWO(2) digits and the other with 2 and 3 digits.
    I wonder if there is a way to change one system into the other and vice versa.

    Galli,

    The GPS coordinate converter works for me. Try this go into your GPS and change it to read degrees. All GPS systems should be able to do this. Now it is less trouble to read and will look like this 28.675453 -104.675423. If I input your reading I get a output of 28.54 -82.52 degrees. See if that will work. If so have other people sent you the information in degrees format. We use only degrees system on this website and you can get it down to a couple feet on a map.
