can you use it at sea indicating numerical latitude and longitude

I'm sorry...I can't help you. I bought this item, but haven't even used it yet. got it for my photography bag...but I haven't been anywhere that was new to me since I purchased it.

No shelby this model dosent do lat and long they do make one i think its around 60.00 this is more for hiking but its very easy to use for that just no lat and long.Have a great weekend.dave

I cannot remember, because I was so fed up with that useless contraption, that I gave it a charity.

no: Mine displays in the compass mode in degrees. In the three tracking mode the displays are in degrees, miles or yards or degrees, meters, kilometers. No coordinates

I don't think so, I used it for docking help on a 60' vessel, and also surveillance cam ( video input) for that price you can give it a try. But I don't think is compatible with any gps.

Correct, but remember, the "place" is entered as a latitude and longitude in decimal format. Not a big deal if you observe from only one or two places, but a great help if you get around. No need to look up the latitude and longitude or keep a list of them. Just start an alignment, wait a bit for the device to read the satellites signal, then align as usual. I like mine and recommend it.

yes, these can display one unit on the screen along with your navigation map. You can choose what it displays -- speed is one of the options, or you can put current heading (N, NE, SW, etc), miles to go to your destination, etc.There also is another "dashboard" screen that displays a speedometer and a bunch of the other numeric values (but no map).Overall a pretty versatile but still user-friendly choice of screens.

Yes can be used in salt water, and speedometer. Be sure to read what type of transducer if it comes with a basic transducer the downimage won't work, you need the HDI TRANSDUCER for the down image. I had to purchase a different transducer that I got at bass pro shops for around $60.

I agree with David, invest in a better tach for your application unless you're always close to shore. This (and similar items) is NOT a high quality precision product. It's a cheap solution to track non-critical service revs. Besides, I would highly doubt the readout would be bright enough on the water based on mine.

Most, if not all GPs units allow for "bookmarking" of sites you are at, as well as entering and saving coordinates for locations you haven't visited yet. Many offer POI's, aka "Point's of interest", and some allow you to upload custom poi lists, such as these http://www.poi-factory.com/taxonomy/term/55, however none of those are specifically geared for ice fishing. As far as which unit to buy, I'd make sure that it's durable & waterproof, or at least water resistant. ;-) Also, I'd suggest a unit that is geared towards marine use, so that it will contain, or at least allow uploads of marine charts or inland lake charts, if that's something that your husband needs for ice fishing.

No, the GPS receiver is only for logging your position. It is not a navigation system.

Yes on Date and time if the feature is turn-on. I do not know about stamping with the coordinate, but the coordinate can be seen if we use the ViewNX2 software. If you are in the remote area (overseas) the coordinate can be off by many miles though the problem may be the accuracy of the Google map. For example I was boating and the coordinate showed the boat went through an island

GPS works everywhere, except near the north and south pole. If you want to use the GPS coordinates the mapping software will have to match the reference system used by the Garmin unit. The only other remaining question is whether the 140 MHz transmitter used in the dog collar is licensed in any of these countries. If this is not of concern, then, yes, it works just about everywhere.

I am assuming that it can, however I use it in conjunction with my ham radio activities and also as a tracker on my APRS radio. If you read the specs, you will be able to determine if the functions are the same. I'm sorry I can't help with marine issues. Good luck.

It gives Long-Lat position worldwide on land and sea but there is no hardware or software for maps. GPS location only.

The GPS picks up the satellite signals very well and does need to be plugged in to the computer, limited by USB cable length, however wireless ones need to be charged periodically. The wireless I have come to prefer is a "HOLUX", small and can be used plugged in. As for a trip on a boat I really like the Delorme maps (after you get used to how their software works) as far as using their maps to chart a course from NY to NC, I am not sure how the maps work on a nautical course. Go to Delorme's website and search for appropriate answers for nautical navigation and/or call their customer service (800 number on their website). I assume that you will use the intercostal waterway mostly?

Yes.. I use it on a wifi only iPad, with a couple of different chart programs mostly on Chesapeake Bay. Just remember that you need to download the charts for your cruising area, while you ARE connected to a network, because your plotter will only work with charts that are stored in memory when you are NOT wifi connected. I have found the BadElf to be as accurate as my on board Standard Horizon plotter.

Fishing spot or any other location can be marked as a waypoint and returned to. I do it all the time. Take time to read the manual and practice with the unit. do it at home before you go fishing to practice. Remember the unit has to be in motion to read correctly. It relies on the motion picked up by the satellites. You can walk briskly and the unit will function fine.

The detailed answer involves lots of issues and background information regarding roads, bridges, land/water geography, nautical markers, etc. The practical answer is no, this software is for terrestrial navigation using roads.
