How to enter Google maps coordinates into my Garmin GPS
Google Maps shows you the coordinates in decimal degrees. On the Garmin, it should be listed as hddd.ddddd° Probably at the top of the list, maybe depends on what model Garmin you are using. Also Garmin shows the coordinates with N/S and E/W, instead of positive/negative. More on reddit.com

Garmin GPS format | Rokslide Forum
I just bought a Garmin 66i. The GPS coordinates are in DMM format. My thermal drone and ONX are in DD format. Can the Garmin 66i be changed to DD format so that all 3 match? More on rokslide.com

Coordinate formats. What are the preferred formats that the US crews are using? Land based? Sea based? Many thanks—
Depends. For wildernesses, we use UTM. But when interfacing with aircraft we use decimal latitude and longitude More on reddit.com

Garmin Manual: Working with Coordinates and Units
Some Garmin gps receivers also support the Military Grid Reference System. This system is just another form of UTM so if your unit doesn't support this it is easy to translate to MGRS from the UTM numbers. MGRS replaces the most significant digits of the UTM coordinate with two letters.

r/Garmin on Reddit: How to enter Google maps coordinates into my Garmin GPS
October 12, 2023 -

TBH I have no clue how coordinates actually work. I know google maps uses WGS84 as standard but I'm struggling with the format of the coordinates. I want to enter the google maps coordinates into my GPS.

I can set the GPS to WGS84 but for the coordinate format, none of the selection matches the google maps one. Google Maps, take as an example this one: 37.233515, -115.812663
in my GPS I have as selections:
h ddd° mm.mmm'
h ddd° mm' ss.s"
MGRS
Grid RT-90
SWEREF 99TM
US National Grid
British National Grid
Grid KKJ27
French Grid
Gauss-Boaga East
Gauss-Boaga West
UTM
none of these allows me to input the google coordinates, they all look different

September 16, 2024 - Garmin's default position format is h ddd° mm.mmm. You can change the way GPSMAP® 62, 64, 65, and 78 series of outdoor handhelds display the coordinates of your location by changing the position format.
