Hey, what datum are you using? My stuff shows 33.46.022 as south of I-10. Plomosa Rd shows as 33.74.XXX. HELP!

Brad: I don't know what datum means. These are the coordinates given by a Garmin Nuvi 650 and two different Garmin 60CSx GPS' devices. If I use Streets and Trips and set the GPS locator (Pull down Tools --> Options and select the Settings tab) to use N/E/S/W and Degrees/minutes/seconds I get a similar (but not exactly the same) reading for the point where we are.
I know we had this problem last year, I just don't remember why there are different values for the same location.

Not to quibble but isn't the Plomosa Rd. cutoff about 6 miles not 3?

I thought the distance was more like 7 miles from the turn onto Hwy-95 in Quartzsite. Streets and Trips says it is 5.6 miles. Maybe one of us will actually check it using an odometer in the next day or so.
Plomosa Road is the first paved road to the East after you pass the Fire Station in Quartzsite. You really can't miss it.
