My Garmin 62S shot craps on me so I sent it in and got a refurbished. The coordinate readout looks like this:

13 S 0259097
utm 4121796

How do I get it back to showing coordinates as:

N44 01.423

W121 13.776 or whatever?

Main menu>Setup>Datum>Format -- or something akin to that, most all GPSr units.

Set the Datum to WGS84; Format to HDD(D)° MM.MMM (don't worry about the degree sign [°]).

Thanks Gitchee, that was what I was looking for.
