does this unit support using coordinates as the destination?

I have yet to try that. I know that my 560 does it fine when using the L&L; for state parks.

I'm sorry, but I am not sure. If it does, I did not see it. Perhaps you can call Garmin to find that out.

Absolutely. There is a free software you can use to transfer way points to the unit as well via USB. I'm currently using it to locate and mark utility manholes.

Yes you can take it anywhere, the locator works based upon a radius not an actual GPS system. i.e. The tags are not hooked up to a satellite like your car GPS.

No. However. Push the blue button and say. What direction am I traveling. And. Onstar. Will tell you

Yes it does. It has separate control for USB connected device and for the map application.

The usefulness of multi-point routing varies from one person to another. Anyone that has daily routes and schedules, this would obviously be a great help. However, for those units that don't have this feature, there is a way to get by. All Garmin units allow for one "waypoint" to be added. Some people add a waypoint somewhere along their travel route, and once reached, add another waypoint, and so on. Hardly elegant, but this hopscotch method gets the job done.

Hey Joseph, I don't know. It dose not seem to work for me. But I may not have something set right. I was more interested in navigating then anything else, which it dose very good. If you contact Emprum at support@emprum.com I'm sure they could answer your question.

While I am still getting used to this system I was shown the other day at a geocaching meeting how to enter coordinates so if you were hiking you could enter the coordinates for where you wished to hike, but it will only show you how to get there "as the crow flies". It's not like a regular GPS in your car that follows roads & highways. May not be suitable for hiking because of this.

Yes, however I would really suggest, unless you are really familiar with the area you are in, that should you go to a slightly higher model one that has map capability. This model gives you all the basic information you need, coordinates and direction etc, but has no map capabilty, which means no map is shown in the window, just your current location coordinates and a direction arrow for the direction in which you need to go to get to where you want to go, but no map to show you where you are on a map. It is your choice.

I'm not using it in that manner.... just for the gps locations in relationship to a pre determined location. Sorry

no, it just logs its position, however, when plugged on the PC, it can inform your current location.

No, just get it interfaced to your laptop, start your software (Streets & Trips and DeLorme Topo North America both work for me) and it will find you. Even inside the house it found my location. This is much better than the GPS functionality in your cell phone. Well worth the price.

No. But Since it is navibridge capable, you should be able to just select a destination using your smartphone

Pretty much any of the Garmin hand held units will do that, even the older, discontinued models. When you say "GPS coordinates" there are several standards, inlcuding lat/long, UTM and MGRS. GPS Made Easy (GPS Made Easy: Using Global Positioning Systems in the Outdoors) is a pretty good book that covers all the basics.

No, not unless you change the exauhst system also.You may change one or the the other without mapping.Not both.
2127125
No. The current location isn't always accurate. And the trackr disconnects time from time giving you a false location.
