Setting coordinates on my zumo 550

[ronrocket1]

How do I set the coordinates for use in Europe. For example the GPS Cords, For this camp site in France

N43 43,371

E003 12,004

I can't find any thing like it in the Coordinates sectionThanks

Hi there Ron,

You need to set the format of your co-ordinates to hddd mm.mmm

If you are using MapSource, you can do this from "Edit -> Preferences -> Position"

Then you can locate the waypoints and send them to your unit.

It is also possible to change the format of the units on the unit itself (not sure which unit you have so can't be specific in your case) but have a look at co-ord formatting in the unit settings.

Hope this helps.
