Sledding Cabin GPS Coordinates

[canadian madman]

does anyone have the conversions for the co-ord for the attached? just bought my GPS (garmin 60CSX) a couple of weeks ago and still trying to figure out all the foramts...holy confusing....anyways, the ones in the attached pic below seem to be in a different format than what everyone is using here...when i enter these co-ord for turbo for example it shows it in the middle of the pacific ocean - that must be one hell of a turbo you got there!!

i tried using the coverter link someone posted here, but it just doesn't seem to want to work on my computer...

headed to revelstoke this weekend without the usual group leader for the first time...just be nice to have some reassurance check points along the way

thanks!

Those formats on that site are a little confusing. What works though is for example super bowl is N51 00.480 W118 22.500 they say N 51 00 48 W 118 22 50

Turbo is N50 59.860 W118 27.120

Give that I try and I think that will get you closer to the turbo we all love!

Hi guys:
I checked into this. The Glacier cabin is a private cabin under a BC crown tenure and owned by Great Canadian Snowmobile Tours. They have the rights to lock it and I know that because of several break ins and guys leaving lots of crap around the cabin, Alex has locked it up, which is fully his right to do so. It's only 4 K from the club cabin and the main trail access and if you can't find your way from there to the trailsystem and club cabinb, maybe you shouldn't be riding the mountains.

Just added some updates to the .gdp (Garmin) file and sent out to everyone I have listed. If I missed you or you want on the list PM me your e-mail. Oh yeah and Merry Christmas

Ok waterbird since your such a wealth of knowledge can you explain when the club was replacing there cabin and asked to move it higher up in the alpine they were refused and then later this glacier house cabin was built without an issue?

Not a cabin but these are the coordinates of the Allen Creek parking lot...case you need to get back to your vehicle
