The above coordinates are in UTM. I believe there is a number missing. The number usually denotes the zone. Like Nairobi, it is 37M. Westen Kenya, 36M, Mandera, 37N, Turkana, 36N
Could you be knowing the datum, is it ARC 1960 or WGS 1984? This is not important but could affect the accuracy.

For example, Nyayo Stadium roundabout in Nairobi has the following coordinates in UTM.
Zone :37 M
Easting: 258147.34 m E
Northings: 9855662.89 m S

PS: Not a surveyor but i have interacted with them.

Hi Okonkwo,

specify the format of the readings you have given in the above post, or post the numbers with their decimals as they appear on the gps and I will asisst to convert.


Here are all GPS formats for assistance

DD.DDDDDD

DD MM.MMM'

DD MM'SS.S"

UTM

MGRS

CH1903

OS GRID



If you are sure of your gps location format, just post.
