| GPS Longitude and Latitude does not agree with MapPoint The GPS says I am at Lat 42.14965N, Lon 84.06055W MapPoint says Lat 42.24933N, Lon 84.10100W (the differences are the same whether the GPS is connected or not.) Why the difference? The GPS is Magellian Meridian Platinum using WGS84 The other GPS I referenced was a Garmin etrex and gave coordinates similar to the Magellan. Thanks         |
