Robert, The format you have the data in is a correct GPS format. I use this format for my GPS receivers.
As for Legacy, I don't want my data converted to the format they accept as I use the GPS coordinates on my website. I place the GPS coordinates in the notes field in the following format: <a href="http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?latlongtype=decimal&latitude=38.5 5928&longitude=-121.50218&size=big" target="_new">38.55928 -121.50218</a> For your GPS coordinates, you would replace the Lat & Long data as below: <a href="http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?latlongtype=decimal&latitude=33.8 88172&longitude=-118.348328&size=big" target="_new">33.888172 -118.348328</a> This way people can just click on the GPS coordinates on my website and they get a new window with a Mapquest page.

How to convert? This is off topic, sort of. I have acquired some data I erroneously believed contained "GPS" formatted longitude and latitude. It uses Nad83 format. For example, Lawndale California (Zip code 90260) has Nad83 latitude of 33.888172 and a Nad83 longitude of-118.348328. The reason I included the zip code is Lawndale is two zip codes, and wanted to be clear. Supposedly, these can be easily converted to GPS format and a format that Legacy can use. Does anyone have the formula for this please? Thank you. Robert Enter the drawing for a FREE Legacy Cruise to Alaska or a FREE research trip to Salt Lake's Family History Library.
