Entering Google Longitude and Latitude in nuvi 760

 

I am having trouble entering Google Map coordinates into my nuvi 760.

There is a location in Google Maps on Long Island (Melville, NY) that reads 40.779209,-73.429012. When I go to the coordinates in my nuvi it has three boxes over three boxes such as N 40 42.xxx and W 73 42.xxx.

How can I enter (convert) Google to my nuvi.

Thanks,
Jim

The fastest way to get all the data at one time is use Google Maps and send to GPS see http://gps.about.com/od/gpsmapscharts/ht/google_garmin.htm .Note look under more on left side to find send. Video instructions http://garmin.blogs.com/my_weblog/2008/04/google-video.html

Coordinates

You must first change the format of your unit to the type of coordinates you want to enter.

Press Where to, coordinates and then format.
Page 13 of your manual explains the above.

I changed the format and it looks like it worked. Thanks for your help.

I know that place!
