If it is a Garmin GPS, you should be able to enter the coordinates in
lat/log decimal, lat/log in degrees minutes seconds or UTM. Once you've
input it off a chart you can then just switch the GPS position format to
whatever you prefer.

With only a 100 meter accuracy (or 1-5 meters with DGPS) I doubt I'll notice
the difference.
