rocket102 0 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Can someone explain the difference between WGS84 and WGS94. How much difference between the two and how do I know which system my GPS is working on. Also if I have a WGS84 can I convert it to a WGS94 or visa versa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tonyb 1,017 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hey rocket102,If your prepared to Google it you will be ploughing through endless techy stuff which will drive you to distraction : ::)Bottom line is there is very small differences in one reading of longitude or latitude which shouldn't make a great deal of difference to your favourite mark.If your real keen you can download a complex conversion table, but if your unit isnt software compatible for WGS94, then thats a waste of time too.I had 12 years worth of Metro Marks on my old 1995 Garmin and wrote them all down in a book when my "Merc" Blue Band finally "Died" a few years ago.Now I own a shiny new WGS94 compatible Garmin and am crewing in a shiny "Bermuda Fishmaster". I have just hand balled the marks in and found that all the old marks, or what must be "Coo-ee" of them, still fire as good as they did before the goal posts were changed.Good luck with it buddy, hope it's some use to you :angel:Cheers, tonyb.
