Anyone know what the difference between "LOCATION" and "LAT/LON" is on my Garmin etrex H? I can select between the two options on the navigation page. The coordinates (numbers) are similar but not the same?

Thanks!

A guess would be that one of these is based on the local Datum (Airy 1836 in the UK) and the other on WGS84
