Nothing like standardized units, eh.

Isn't it crazy how many different units are used for GPS by different people. The coordinates I found for all the SoCal reefs are all in Degrees/Minutes/Seconds. Then there is Decimal Degrees to six decimal places, then there is Degrees/Minutes/Decimal Minutes. Most people use the latter, I believe, because that is preferred by the USCG. I would think decimal degrees would be easiest, but it is definitely important to do the conversions right, or you will
be way off.
