Hi Debbie,<br><br>There are a few ways that a GPS can handle coordinates. Usually, you are using the default, which is what is the common datum for geocaching.<br><br>A quick way I have of verifying the coordinates is to go to
<a href="http://maps.google.com">maps.google.com</a> and paste the coordinates there. I pasted the coordinates in and got the following....<br><br><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=34.45396185,+-111.25077724&ll=34.533712,-111.253052&spn=1.8915,5.482178">
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=34.45396185,+-111.25077724&ll=34.533712,-111.253052&spn=1.8915,5.482178</a><br><br>The trick you have to remember is that we are in the western hemisphere so the second data set needs to be converted to a negative number to make it West.
<br><br>This explaination can get really complicated, so I opted to make it simple and to the point. You could go into your GPS unit and change the dataset, but if you have an internet connection handy, its faster just to load a webpage.
<br><br>Google maps does a pretty good job of figuring out what you are looking for based on the data you input... so I'm hoping that you were looking for something in the just north of Payson area. <br><br>I hope this helps.
