Find Long & Lat Coordinates? I've never used GPS. Can it map longitude & latitude coordinates in US rural areas & give you the best/only route to it?

I'm also looking to a GPS that will let me locate precise locations of cemeteries. Did any one answer your question.

If you get the free program called EasyGPS, you can connect your i5 to the computer using the USB cable, and it will download a table of all your "Favourites", which includes Latitude, Longitude and even altitude. If you want them plotted on a map, you can do the same with Google Earth Plus ($20/yr), but I think plotting a route is limited to roads (if you were thinking of off road).

No, not yet. John Thompson's post above indicates it's possible with the additional purchase of ancillary software apps.

even i am trying to figure this out,...I guess they do not allow this feature in c330.

I was thinking specifically of locating rural cemeteries, for which I may just have the Long & Lat coordinates. Cemeteries are usually on the side of a road, although it may be something like a farm-to-market road.I wondered if a GPS system would help me locate them & it sounds like it would.

I can't answer the question, but I suggest you try this forum: http://forums.gpsreview.net/viewforum.php?f=2 LOTS of questions answered there.

Obviously you can use your GPS for your trip.... you might find that there are a few road changes, dead ends, etc. but for the most part you have to remember that 97% of everything is still the same (I mean, how much can countries do to their roadways in 5 years!). BTW, the same holds true for yout GPS and American roads. I've had an argument or two with my other half as to what the GPS is telling me but there is no longer a road there!Be patient-- Happy trails--

The GPS tracking itself should work all over the world.What might be limited may be the map material available for your region that allows you to see the paths on a map.As a workaround it is always possible to use Google Earth to visualize the paths, which should have satellite imagery for most locations on earth, and is available for free.

My experience is that the maps are very accurate in rural areas. Right down to the dirt roads. There are some problems you should be aware of though. Many times the road names are not the ones used locally. The road sign may say Snake Creek Rd while the GPS says County Road 317. That can make things a llittle confusing. Find make not work well for rural addresses (largely due to the problem above, but there seems to be a little more to it than that.)

Leslie, did you ever figure it out? I just started traveling towing a 18' trailer with 3 dogs and I need to buy a good GPS that will avoid those steep grades if possible, but also lead me to the closest campgrounds, groceries and gas. There are too many choices and it is so confusing. Looking for advice from someone who has figured it out! Thanks!

I order it for my frend . It is not mine. But i have seen only USA and Canada maps. I dont know if it is posible to use it anywhere else. Or may be update maps.

You can enter coordinates by hand or voice command. Like any machine, sometimes the voice command just doesn't translate correctly, so manual mode is necessary... it is intuitive, meaning it takes in a little information then offers several options of the full address. The big screen makes it easy to use. I use my Nuvi all the time.

Hello Derick. I am sorry I have not responded before.Yes you can. The GPS is programmed to use Lat and Long and UTM co-ordinates.

Nothing that I know of. I use it to find gas wells that the company I work for services. Our company trucks have full navi systems that don't allow entry of lat/long coordinates, so this is a life saver! I use OpenStreetMap for the turn by turn. This is a free resource and you can update it anytime there is a change. I also took all of the gas wells we have marked on Google Earth and placed them in the waypoint manager so I just select the well site by name. I would recommend that you get the car suction cup mount and a friction mount to stick it to. I use this setup and place it on the dash for viewing ease. I use mine as both a driving GPS for work, a riding GPS for dual sport and trail riding with my son, and handheld for hiking.

It has two options, to map the location and the other to give you directions. I find using the mapping function using Google maps and then hitting the drive to button works perfectly. Takes you almost right next to your subject.

Get on your computer and go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHUliwmAXxY It discusses a different model of GPS, but the directions apply. It is an excellent video. Thanks for asking the question, it got me to search for an answer for you and I learned something, too. General rule: when you have a question about "how do I ...." go to Google and ask that question. I get a good answer more than 90% of the time. Good luck. If you have a more specific question, don't hesitate to ask again.

Thanks for telling me that. I haven't used the GPS much after that time. I think I need to read the manual when I have time. :)

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

I don't see any reference to GPS in the instruction manual or about GEO tagging

The short answer is NO. This device is only capable of calculating the GPS coordinate of your current location. It is not designed to guide you to any destination. If you decide to purchase an expensive Offline Map software (or Application, which you can download in your smartphone), then this device can provide you with additional accuracy, which is better than the accuracy of in-built GPS of the smartphones.

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.
