will this device give me the exact longitude and latitude where I am standing in the middle of nowhere?

As stated by Garmin, your location will be accurate within 10ft if properly calibrated. I will state that you will never find a device that will tell you "exact" long/lat but most devices get pretty close.

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.

Depends on what you mean by "exact." Figure that you will typically have more than ten feet of uncertainty on your current location. Perhaps a lot more. You can enter a lat/long that is within a few feet, and if you know that you can calculate the number fairly easily for 700 feet true north (other directions much more complicated). If you are standing on a spot, and say "mark this," you can use it to move the "destination point" anywhere you want, but it'll not be anything like survey-accurate. You'll have error on starting point, error on direction (+/- one at least degree), an error on distance (I'd assume a minimum of +/- five feet), and an error on current location (again, how far depends on satellites, trees, terrain, etc) of an average of 15+'. If that meets your definition of "exact," they yes. If you need to mark a survey monument for use in a court case, then it's not anywhere close to "exact" enough. Trying to find one that already exists, and you want to minimize your search area, then yes it'll get your sorta-kinda close. Can you clarify what you mean by "exact," and "north" (true vs magnetic)?

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

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.

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, and it is not a very good device. It will search for satellites indefinitely and I have to find the place myself. Don't buy it!

No, you need an external GPS adapter you can most likely find on amazon. Personally I woudnt get it, I don't see it working very well.

nope, but it can try to use your Wifi to determine your approximate location.

Your position with a GPS signal is triangulated with satellites so I would say yes it will work as long as there are satellites.

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

Yes, you need to know the GPS coordinates of your destination. There is a small arrow that appears on the screen indicating what direction the location is. I use this Garmin exclusively for fishing ocean wrecks and it has spot on accuracy.

Hi Christine, I don't remember trying to locate its position using my computer because I don't think it works. This unit is a GPS recorder. As such it does NOT send out any signal. So it cannot be located in real time. But since it records its locations, you can download its location file after a trip and find out where it went. Hope this reply helps. :-)

When it came to the GPS function, I didnt really find it helpful. The map on the camera does not show you pin point where you are. Its just a map unless I did it wrong. It does come with a disk to download but I didnt do that either. I think it supposed to GPS tag your photo but I didnt see that either so I just treat it as a camera without GPS.

Yes it will. When the where to menu comes up go to it. Arrow down on menu will take you to coordinates.

There shouldn't be any difference between the two. It is non-GPS non mapping unit so there shouldn't be a difference between the two. I hope this helps :)

No idea as my location in the mountains has very poor reception and I am a technology dummy
