G'day all,
I am just getting into this 4WD/off-road "stuff" so please bare with me...!!!
I have just bought a number of books/guides such as the "4WD Days out of Perth" so that I can get an idea about
places to go and have trip notes as
well to provide guidance and
information.
However, all the GPS Waypoints for the various
treks are referenced by
Grid Co-ordinates based on the WGS84 datum, eg., 0 408 079mE 6 484 597mN.
My question is... is there a way of converting these co-ordinates into Lat and Long (deg min sec)?? Or do I need to get maps that have both the
grid reference and Lat-Long scales/markings so that when I plot a
grid reference, I can work out what the Lat-Long is?
Cheers,
