Garmin Etrex H Help

Post by Mr&Mrs H » 02 October 11 12:54 pm

Hi can you please help a newbie.

I have just moved to Sydney form Scotland and having a little trouble with my Garmin Etrex H

I usually use British Grid Reference which I find the most accurate.

What I would like to know is what’s the Australian equivalent?

With Thanks Mr&Mrs H.

Welcome to Oz.
WGS84 is used for Geocaching in Australia.
