I'll have to take a little time to sift through this to understand it. One question I have is, how do you get your Garmin GPS and Google Earth to use the same coords? If I punch my Garmin coords into Google Earth, it takes me to the right place, but displays different coords. If I punch the Google Earth coords into my Garmin, I get the wrong location.
Help me Mr. Wizard.
The coordinate formats have to be the same in both applications.
I think Google Earth defaults to "Degrees, Minutes, Seconds" (click on "Tools" then "Options"), so set your Garmin to "hddd mm'ss.s" (click on the setup menu on your particular unit, highlight the selection, and then scroll to the format you want.) That's why I use UTM.... only one format!
