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. Answer from ialtag-bheag on reddit.com

How do I view current coordinates with Garmin Instinct (1)
You can hold the gps button (top right) and then it shows your coordinates. But I don't think the coordinates change when you start to walk again so you have to hold that button every time you want to know them. And you can change which grid system you want to use in the navigation menu if you hold the menu button. Hope it helps. More on reddit.com

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

April 24, 2019 - I’ve found the quickest way to do this, without having to go outside, is to: 1. open the Navigate app 2. select ‘Use Map’ 3. press and hold the Start button until a screen appears with ‘Go’ and ‘Save Location’ (and other nearby POIs below) 4. Select ‘Save Location’ and then scroll down to ‘Postion’ to edit the grid reference (assuming you have previously set the desired grid ref system in the watch system settings) and edit the ‘Name’, ‘Icon’ and ‘Elevation’ accordingly too. 5. Back out until you’re back at the map screen again and then repeat steps 3 and 4 to enter any other points you want.
