Does anyone know the answer to my question? I have a lake map the has lat/long coordinates on it it was done on the NAD 83 datum but all my other waypoints are saved as WGS 84 datum. So the question is can I switch the datum of my GPS to 83 enter in the points off of the map and then switch it back to WGS 84 and will it automatically convert it? When I entered the cordinates in at first I entered the 83 numbers but I was in the WGS 84 mode so it shows my points on the opposite side of the lake.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
