Transferring Google co-ordinates to Sat Nav (1 Viewer)

[Rob and Val]

Can someone explain how to transfer Google co-ordinates, e.g.
44.801774,1.620196
to Garmin co-ordinates, please?
Our Garmin gives us a choice of
H ddd.ddddd°
H ddd° mm.mmmˈ or
H ddd° mm ss.”
:Confused:

Use one of the on-line Lat/Long converters ..

try this one

or

http://www.earthpoint.us/Convert.aspx

or http://www.csgnetwork.com/gpscoordconv.html

your example converts to

44° 48' 6.3864" 1° 37' 12.705"

Yes, thanks, Roger

I hadn't realised that this was the format, as the Garmin was asking for North, South, East or West and the number of digits was not the same, but I think that I have figured it out now.
