I agree completely.  In light of that a 5 position decimal in degrees across sonar and programs.  Chuck

Bumping this to the top - I also prefer UTM and was wondering if there is additional info on this subject for use on my new 998.

Thanks

I agree. It is allot easier to follow the UTM coordinate numbers, where you can just add 50 to the coordinate numbers, and just follow that number as close as possible when recording sonar for making large contour maps.

We use UTM just because a meter is a meter in any direction..It is very hard to go 12 seconds in a direction..
