Good Afternoon

I'm off on a 7 day walking holiday in Slovenia later in the month. I want to enter the coordinates of the 6 walks in advance so that I can then check them on site for the walking company. The format of the coordinates is:

X 0546870
Y 5111783 etc.

I have looked through the satmap manual but cant't see how to do this.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance.

Mike

You need to have two further pieces of information...

What map datum do these points have as a reference and what units are they in.

Although it looks as if they could be Y= North X =East, inserting decimal points makes no sense (You get 51.nnn North and either 05.4nnn or 054.nn E) Neither are anywhere near Slovenja.

They just could be UTM co-ordinates - but you would need additional major grid reference numbers (a bit like the two OSGB grid letters) to make them unique.

A site here would indicate that maps are available in UK that use WGS84 and 'normal' lat long. Where did your co-ords come from?
