ENTS,
I forwarded these websites to several people, but then thought
others in the group might be interested as well.
This site will allow you to convert from various formats of GPS
Coordinates in degrees, decimal variations of degrees, and UTM
coordinates.

This site shows which UTM zone covers any particular part of the
world. For example Kinzua Reservoir in Warren County PA (on the
NY border) is in zone 17 T There are several
incarnations of the UTM coordinate system and the results may
differ between them by a few hundred feet. The two most commonly
seen in North America are: NAD27 WGS84/NAD83 The
most common in use is the WGS84/NAD83 datum and should be
selected as the default when doing conversions unless another
datum is specified.

This site is one of several online map sites on the internet, It
will let you enter coordinates in various formats for any area
in the United states and see a topo map of the location:
