Spot Messenger Coordinates Problem

Hi Guys,

I have only ever used my spot to let the family know I am okay and they can check the map to see where I am. I am using it this time to find a location once my mate sends the check-in message so I can meet up with him. Once I put the GPS coordinates into my Garmin Hand-held I am off by 30km’s. I know the spot is using the WGS84 Datum and my GPS is set the same. I have been doing testing in the back yard and when I get my check-in message the coordinates from the SPOT is way different to what is showing on 2 other GPS devices I have ( The 2 are showing the same numbers) it’s off by around 16 minutes.

Now the weirdest part is when I check the Spot link on my computer through Google maps it’s taking me to my correct position. I have double checked that I have put in the coordinates correctly.

Can one of the GPS experts shed some light on this, it has been doing my head in?

Thanks
