is this only to get back to a point you already were at? so I couldn't put in coordinates somehow and find them?

Yes, it's only for to get back to a point you already were at. You can store up to 3 locations. It dose not work in house. You need to be outside and it takes about a minute to establish connection I'm guessing with (satellite/GPS).

Yes! I found a way to make it work but now I don't remember what I did. I need to recalubrate too. So annoying.

Thank you so much for the post on the "hard reset". I recently updated my maps and when next I used it I saw the No Maps and the No Data message. Your hard reset worked perfectly--on the second try--it was comforting to see that question come up and know how to answer it. I didn't have any addresses that were essential so all is well. You are a life saver!!!!

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

Hi Wiliam. Yes. This model has the function you mention. It is very useful when you are driven and have to stop for some time whether short or long, then after reconnecting it will continue its directions to the location you chose before.

You would have the coordinates to get you to the area. Then when within 50 feet or so ,if your GPS has the software for chirp and it is turned on, you will get whatever message that chirp is programmed with. It can be more coordinates or a hint to the next location, or the answer to a question to prove you found it. The are many possibilities.

I'm not sure. I mean, wherever I was, I was able to zoom out and see a map, but not the best map I guess. I used it in the middle of nowhere in Oregon though. It always got me where I needed to go, it just didn't always tell me where exactly I was, if that makes sense. I.e., it directed me from point A to point B, but if I wanted to know what town I was in, or on what road, that information wasn't always on the screen. Hope that helps!

Patricia this is designed to get you places not keep track of miles so I don't think it does what you need. You Mark a starting point and when you want to get back it points you in the right direction. It can also get you back to a point by marking the point when you arrive, saving it and when you want to go back to that point you dial it up and it points you to it.

If this thing cannot find me standing in my own front yard, how can you expect to find you deep in Mexico. In theory if you have current maps and the GPS hardware is working you should be able to go anywhere. However, mine purchased brand new had maps that were 16 versions off and it was 300 feet off as to my GPS location. I have been working with them for weeks to get it straight and fixed. First you will not have the correct cord to connect to your computer, so you cannot update the maps without it. Then the current maps costs extra up to $100, so you are not getting a useable product properly updated out of the box.

This is a simplified GPS unit. It will show you latitude and longitude but it is feature / operation poor. It is meant as get back to where you came from in case of getting lost. It does have a compass. If you plan a hike / excursion a GPS is recommended. If you are a casual hiker who is afraid of getting lost, this backtrack simplified GPS will do.

You need to do your starting and end points, then go into the map and find one of your mid points, and use the menu at the bottom to "Add Via".

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

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.

Yes. But you can use mainly cities only as destinations. Using coordinates of your destination is the best way to go.
