Sicamous .pdf map coordinate accuracy?

[skegpro]

I am trying to build some maps for my garmin for the Sicamous areas.

I started with owls but I am noticing I am either converting the coordinates wrong or they are all out by a bit????

I am assuming the format they have on the maps is Degrees and Decimal Minutes (DMM), I need to convert to Decimal Degrees as that is what I have my gps and google earth setup in and seems to be the easiest to use.

Or if some one has a kml file of the area they want to flip me that would be nice too.

Yeah that's the one I was using.

Tried a couple different ones the waypoints are still all out.

Swapped google earth over to DDM and same result.

So it's not the converter.

Starting to think I may be the only one who has ever punched these into google earth.

These are wildly inaccurate.
They have skinny ridge up by the Mica Airport......

Look for a decimal point in the coordinates provided by the club...

There is no decimal point. They are giving you 50d 46m 24.98s N 118d 50m 35.57s W

I guess you need a true numerical number for your gps unit.
