When you want to pinpoint an exact location, you need a coordinate. To complicate this there are three commonly used coordinate types. Guidebooks may use any one of the above types of coordinates.If your satellite navigator only accepts one type of GPS co-ordinate, it is possible to convert one type into another. Both parts of the coordinate must be converted and it is imperative the correct letter is assigned to each part and the decimal point is put in the correct place.
