Good find! Easy to use coordinate transformation tool built on a USGS tool set. Covers the basic datums normally utilized in GPS/mapping application defined in this thread.

Thank you for that information, mapguy. I've been using GPS for a long time, but relatively new to Google Earth, so that clarified things for me.

I don't get the difference between the GPS coordinates shown on my GPS units versus the coords shown on Google Earth.
This is a great thread.
Thank you.
I've struggled with this off and on for years...
I think I've finally got it now.
Thanks.

I'm a dangerous man. I just took some coords given to me by a friend and hand translated them into decimal minutes to punch them into my GPS. Seems to have worked flawlessly.
I ought to be able to get good and lost now!

I don't know what model GPS you have but I can set mine to enter either decimal or DMS. I have a Nuvi 660. I also have a claculator that converts between the 2.
