Robert asks…GPS coordinates?I've got a garmin etrex GPS device. I'm just playing about with it and I thought i'd see if I could transfer teh coordinates of the device and display its where-abouts using an online map website such as local.live.com. So, I ensure the GPS is giving me the WGS-84 coordinates, then type those coordinates into local.live.com and it places my location about 50 miles away in northhampton.
What am I doing wrong??admin answers:Wild guess: Longitude co-ordinate is wrong? That would put you the wrong side of 0 degree line by a certain amount.
I have a Garmin and I changed it to Ordnance Survey units. Much more useful!Chris asks…How to find gps coordinates on google maps from a cell phone photo?I have taken pictures from my cell phone, and in the info it shows gps coordinates.
I just want to know how to use those coordinates on a website like google maps to find the locationadmin answers:In most cases, you can paste the information directly into google
