I have the old school garmin etrex been having it for years and normally I just go walk in woods and find my spots and then mark them on my gps to mark stands and what not well i got permission to hit some other property and we'll I have it pin pointed on google earth with coordinates but can't figure out how to convert them to work with the garmin cause I don't have time to walk the hole thing so I'm trying to go straight to the point |

Also, the coordinates from Google earth won't be as accurate as points from an actual gps or chart. You'll be close, but not exact. It has to do with the way they cut and paste the maps together on google. |

That's what I was going to advise,,,,, under settings, convert number format to match Google earth number format. I have an old school Garmin 76s and had to do the same thing a few years ago. Surprisingly accurate. Now I just use my phone..... Good luck. |
