Some family members have been geocaching for a while using the relevant app on their iPhones however, this does not appear to allow you to plot new caches. Last week they planted 2 & asked me to tag them using my Garmin (705) so I went to each location & saved them as a waypoint.

When trying to put the gps coordinates into the geocaching website it places the caches miles away from where they are. If I use the same coordinates/route on Garmin Connect, Endo or Strava they're correct.

Am I missing a trick or is there likely something wrong with the website? I find this hard to believe on the basis that it seems to be a global resource that has the correct data for everything they've looked for.
