Nope. No reason for choosing UTM, other than the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing (no sarcasm there; it's unfortunately true). After changing to the Lat/Lon formats, it seems I'm making headway. Thanks!

I downloaded the Idaho topo from here a bit back and loaded it in Basecamp. Everything seems fine, except I've tried to make a waypoint from downloaded coordinates and they're way off. I've gone to Edit>Create Waypoint at Coordinates. Then the box comes up and I copy the coordinates over. When I click "Show on Map," I'm way out in the ocean. So, I checked the coordinates to a topo map, and they seem to be the right ones. I checked my Preferences>General and Have them set for (top to bottom) US, True, UTM and WGS 84. And beneath the Waypoint field in that box, it reads "Converted to: 50 T 340905 4894041." Why?

What am I doing wrong?
