Off grid post 9.19.18 ( translating Garmin gps coordinates to a google map coordinate )


Yes, this is very time consuming.  It is a great way to pass the time.  I get so
absorbed in it, the time flies by incredibly fast.

As mentioned yesterday, I took my Garmin handheld GPS device with me on my trips
out west to the property.  With it, I saved many waypoints on the device, which
guides you back to the same spot at some future point in time.

With these waypoints, a translation to Google maps is obtained, and from which I can get some ideas from the terrain as viewed from satellite.

Also, I can make a pictorial representation of the land that can be posted as a
graphic.  In other words, a pretty picture.
