Changing Coordinate Systems
You may wish to change the coordinate system that your GPS
310 uses to display the position and landmarks coordinates.
You have the following options: LAT/LON using degree/
minutes (DEGMIN), LAT/LON using degree/minutes/
seconds (DEGMINSEC),Universal Transverse Mercator
(UTM), OSGB, Irish, Swiss, Swedish, Finnish, French, or
German. The choice you make will depend upon the maps or
charts you may be using. You want your GPS 310 to be
displaying the coordinates in the same mode that your map or
chart uses.
The following example shows the same position in three
different modes.
LAT/LON
(DEGMIN)
LAT/LON
(DEGMINSEC)
UTM
Press the
MENU
key until SETUP is displayed at the top of
the screen and press
ENTER
. Press
again and the
currently used coordinate system begins to flash. Use the
RIGHT/LEFT ARROWs to scroll through the list of
coordinate systems and press
when the desired system
is displayed. Some coordinate systems require additional zone
or format information. Use the arrow pad and
ENTER
to
select the proper zone or format.
