I just bought the Nuvi 760 and see that the POIs listed here are in a format -92.345678,36.333888
My Nuvi 760 has a co-ordinates input screen with the format:
N 33 57.670'
W 84 3.119'
is there a way to convert the posted POIs on this site to my Nuvi format ?
thanks in advance

yes, under the coordinates
yes, under the coordinates in the nuvi, you can change the format. Go to "Where to" and then "Coordinates" and then at the bottom you will see the "Format" button.

And you can use these websites to convert between the formats.

If you are using the poiloader it shouldn't matter. When I manually load coordinates in my 2820 I use DD MM.mm, but when I load the POIs I load them just as they come off poi-factory
Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

This is sensible thing to do (I wonder why Garmin chose this as a default?).
It only actually affects the display of coordinates and any you type into the unit itself. It won't have any effect on files loaded by POI Loader. POI Loader's input files are always in decimal degrees. (As are .gpx files transferred in as Routes or Favourites)
Just noticed that I managed to write what "Don B" had already said.
