I doubt it.
1 deg = 60 NM, at the equator this means (approx) an area of 3600 NM square. 1 minute = 1NM or 1/60 of a degree, an area of 2NM square 1 minute in decimal= 0.6NM or .36 NM square area. Never mind the seconds. Not much of a difference when they are looking(i think). I would be more worried about using the same GPS reference(WPS-84 etc). -Kees P.S. For ease conversions buy a $10 calculator.

Yes, if you are using WPS-84, it could be a real pain :-)
