How to Change MapSend Coordinates to UTM
The MapSend is a line of the digital maps for Magellan handheld GPS receivers. It includes street maps, topographic maps and fresh or salt water maps. The position data on the maps can be displayed in the different coordinate systems. The default coordinate system used in the Magellan GPS receivers is latitude/longitude. The "Map Units" section of the "Preferences" menu in the MapSend software allows you to change the default coordinate setting to the UTM coordinate system.
