Is my GPS crap on its own or do they all show coordinates in decimal

Get over to alt.satellite.gps where your sort are tolerated.
It might help if you told us what GPS you've got, I CBA to
look at my Garmin 2610 ATM but I believe it is configurable to
display in either decimal or D/M/S.
I've just taken advantage of the £/$ exchange rate to update the mapping on
my Garmin 2610 so have it to hand.
It seems the format is N 50deg51.098min E 2deg53.251 min and I can't find
anything in the options to change it to decimal.
Mapsource, the accompanying software for route planning on your PC, can use
about 30 different formats.
