EasyGPS program

[caloundra]

for anyone out there that uses EasyGPS I have a question
when I down load A mark from my GPS72 to the EasyGPS program it alters the mark, and when I down load it back to the GPS it is correct again.
I guess it has something to do with a different Datum, the GPS is WGS 84 but I can't find what EasyGPS is or how to change it

here is an example
caloundra bar
on the GPS S 26 48 741
E 153 08 196

on EasyGPS S 26 81 235
E 153 13 659

sorry guys not using one of the good marks for example

Hi caloundra,.... I use to use easygps but found the GSAK is better http://www.gsak.net/ it work perfectly every time and works with my mapping program to view all the waypoints on screen.

Be interested if there is a mapping program that works well with my Matrix37. The humminbird program that comes with it is pretty average and I'd like something that I could at least overlay an offshore map in to get an overview of where your marks are. Be great if that would load back into the matrix as well but not sure how well that would work. Maybe everybody just uses the separate mapping program to view their marks on the computer screen and map out that way.. :-/
Maybe thats how you all use this program? Sorry didn;t mean to hijack your post but you got your answer anyway ;)
