I'm not a UTM user and am perplexed by a coordinate "mapping" done by
Garmin mapsource.

N38.16922 W116.84495 maps to 11 S 513582 4224602
N36.35138 W115.84293 maps to 11 S 603822 4023544

Shouldn't these be in 11N?

Don't confuse the N zones with "North", or "S", with "South".

I'm in 10S, at about your same latitude.

The map grid helped. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
Thanks.
