I need to find locations in forests based on specific GPS coordinates. If the location is far from a road, the iPhone map works great. But if the coordinates put the location near a road, the iPhone’s map assumes I actually want the location of the road, so it puts the marker down on the nearest road, and the actual location seems to be lost. Surely I can make it stop doing this, right?

I know how to enter the coordinates, but the problem I’m having is that Google Earth gives me 2 digits at the end but my GPS wants 3.
For example (random coordinate):
Google Earth:
40°26′47″N
79°58′36″W
Where the 47 and 36 are, which are both double digits, my GPS is asking me for 3 digits. Should I add a “0″ before or after them on my GPS?

Using a unit such as a garmin handheld.
For example if I hike over hills I travel a vertical and a horizontal distance. This combined would be greater than the distance I would travel if the ground was flat. Is this extra distance also calculated, or is it just the simple point to point displacement?

My walking book for Scotland has a set of GPS waypoints such as “NN 945 518″ and “NN 934 523″ and “NO 025 426″. I think they’re OS grid coordinates, but I don’t see how I can enter them into my GPS (which wants lat/lon data). Can’t see anywhere online to convert them easily – any ideas?
