You may need to use a converter found with google. There is also one that will show you where it is on a map.
Is there a place on the kdwpt website to find out which datums are used on each lake, some are marked with datums and some aren’t, also I wonder why the website doesn’t just put all brush piles in with the same datum. Maybe I am doing something wrong but I don’t know how to convert between datums thanks in advance

dlsloan thanked you for this post
dlsloan,
I do not know of a page on the KDWPT website to find a listing of datums for project lakes.
KDWPT Fisheries Biologists use Datum WGS 84 as the standard.
Many volunteer groups have placed cubes in Kansas waters under the direction of the District Fisheries Biologists. I suppose there is the possibility that coordinates could be reported back to KDWPT using a different datum.
You can always contact the local fisheries biologist for the lake in question for more detailed information.
I appreciate the KDWP's efforts in regard to providing GPS data of fish attracting cover.
If memory serves (and it may not) I think I went from KDWP to Google Earth Pro to HBPC to my birds; I have slept since then so...
Google Earth Pro has different GPS formats in the tools tab - options , for conversion.
Thank you, my problem is some of the formats are different, for example Shawnee state lake uses a format which I haven’t been able to find on my garmin
You haven't posted your progress so I just noticed this site I have bookmarked... Coordinate Converter – Polar Geospatial Center
