I am having trouble converting UTM co-ords as found in the "4wd days in the goldfields of WA" and the
Pilbara books to use with my garmin nuvi 660. The options on the nuvi does not have a utm format. I have checked in the members section for file swap and there is a file for converting lat/long to utm but not the other way around. Also searched the
forum and found nothing. Lots of discussion but no method to convert co-ords. Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.

briggzee (WA),
You can download a Excel spreadsheet from
http://www.icsm.gov.au/gda/gdatm/index.html, select
Download GDA Technical Manual Spreadsheets (360kb)
and use file redfern.xls
If your Datum is GDA then E 742,392.0, N 6,589,205.0 is
Latitude -30° 48' 19.8" 119° 32' 00.6"
