Can this unit be used to set in a Long and Lat (h.mm.mmm) and find that location?

Yes, the unit will accept coordinates in a Lat./Long format. I can't remember the steps involved to input the coordinates but I remember it being fairly intuitive. The unit will also tell you the Lat./Long. of your stored points.

It does Geocaching and I believe you enter Long and Lat to find the sites, but I have never Geocached.I hope this helps

Yes, you can "Set location" for somewhere else, but I don't recall how to do that. I guess find the address, and maybe the "Set location" option pops up then? But mine finds satellites fairly quickly, even if it's been turned off. If it takes more than 5 minutes, turn it off and start over. Mine usually finds them in a minute or less. I think it does it faster if you turn it on before you start moving. HTHS--

No. I bought this for my mother as a present. By the time it came for her to open it, it was to late to return.the GPS doesn't work at all. Can't get a map to any where

In geocaching I've had very good success getting close to ground zero, although thick tree cover does sometimes cause the Magellan to take a little time to zero in on my location. You can put in latitude and longitude by adding a waypoint. It's pretty easy to do, but not the most intuitive thing to figure out the first time you try it.

You hide this in a geocache, and it will send out a signal that can be picked up by another gps. So you don't actually have to find it, you could have It so when you get within 20-30 feet it automatically gives them new coordinates. It would work really well in a multi cache.

In theory yes, but it would require more parts than just this and the raspberry pi. The GPS module would only be able to locate itself, it would not be able to send the data over an extended distance. If you purchased a device to send information over a cell network then you might be able to do what you are trying to do.

It has an option on the camera's menu screen under GPS to "Use GPS to set clock" which may or may not include setting the correct date on the camera's clock. However, as part of reporting the Position it also reports UTC in the form of ----/--/-- --:--:-- and that information is included in the EXIF data for the photograph and is reported as GPS Date.

Yes. There is a basic base map in your GPS which will show you where you are.

The receive will track where you walk and you can look at the track on the map software that came with it. You have to connect the GPS unit to a camera to change the setting on the tracking frequency though. You may be able to do this on a computer I am not sure.

This device can be set to miles or kilometers. As an aside, I found it difficult to set the tire rotation to get the correct odometer reading.

Yes. It will also store specific locations and provide navigation guidance to reach a specific stored location.

Can you find a place by inputting latitude and longitude or just by street addresses?RegardsTom

NO, but there's a few apps available that can determine your location and set specific options. Locale, Tasker and Setting Profile are some that come to mind.

Yes you can and it is pretty accurate once you have done that taking it to a spot marked by a friend using a much more expensive GPS.

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.

It does appear that it can display latitude and longitude for any location. Yes, you can enter coordinates as a destination.

Don't know... haven't tried that yet... usually I'm looking for GPS coordinates based on maps and general topography... a lot of times when your in between high ridges being able to read a map; thus long/lat comes into play.... because the GPS can't pick up a signal..... both are good skills to have.
