Fishfinder coordinate help
Been a very long time friends...
I've been blessed to finally put time on the water with the kayak this year and ran into an interesting issue.
My fishfinder takes coordinates in DDM, when I Google Earth some spots they must be converted from DMS to DDM. I get the proper format and find that the decimal goes over the limit for the waypoint entry by only 1 number. When that happens, do you guys round up or down the last number or just leave it? If the extra number is 9 do you bump the last number up?
Example: 40 degrees 57.9452 N, 72 degrees 02.1757 W
Would you put it as 40 degrees 57.945N, 72 degrees 02.176W or 72 degrees 02.175W?
This isn't a spot burn, I'm just making those numbers up. I do an awful lot of paddling so coordinates putting me as close as possible really help if I have to go deep.
Hope this made sense
