Does the Magellan 3030 show altitude and co-ordinates: Does the 3030 show longitude and latitude co-ordinates along with altitude like the 3100 unit does on any of its screens.

You can tell the RoadMate 3030-LM to display Elevation on the main page, as well as speed, time, direction, eta, time remaining. You can select the item you want always displayed on the screen by touching that option from the pop up. These display options are only available when you are in a trip navigate mode. Otherwise, only Elevation, Time, Speed, and direction are available.The only place that I think Longitude/Latitude is displayed is from the Menu and you select Current Location, and there you will see your current Lon/Lat co-ordinates

I've never used that feature, but yes, it does have a compass. As I understand it you create routes and mark points.

Yes it does...the different units can be selected via the software app. You can also use a combination of Imp and SI units for speed , distance and altitude.

Hello Manuel, No it doesnt display your gps coordinates. It shows a dish looking icon that flashes for 30 seconds or so until the watch has locked on. Side note... Once I transfer my run to Endomondo, the google map route with the streets that I ran on will be there to look at. Hoped that helped.

The device only makes available the position in longitude and lattitude notation into the exif of the picture. Works fine, but cannot be used as a compass or whatsoever for navigational purposes. Henedu.

Yes, Magellan's directions are accurate nearly all of the time. Your routing choices are the biggest variation. Yet, very occasionally Magellan will go astray. A good dose of common sense helps a lot in interpreting routing.

It does yes, altitude, direction, and velocity. But they are only about as accurate as the coordinates themselves (within 3-5 meters),

The last software upgrade for this model on Magellan's website is from 2010. The last map update I could find was from Dec 2007 (see http://gpsinformation.net/allory/magfeat.htm#rm3000). So yeah, I would say that the gps upgrades on both map and software sides are obsolete (4+ yrs old)

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.

I returned my Magellan, was totally unhappy with it as we tried to use it. I hope you have better luck with yours. You might contact the magellan site for an answer to your question.

Altitude or more specifically elevation is recorded and reviewable once uploaded to your computer via MySports but you cannot see this measurement on the watch's screen. I am sure if there was enough demand, the engineers at TomTom could program the watch to display it.

I don't know I returned it with the gps the earthmate gps came with the us and Canada dvds also delorme up dates maps a lot.

there are several different models. the premium model has everything including an altimeter. I think mine has a compass that shows a heading to a waypoint, but we are in Mexico right now and I don't have it with me.

I'm not sure as I have A old Magellan. I can tell you that it has a few foam blocks inside for adjustment.

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

It does, but it is a little different from most gps sensors in that the map program has to explicitly use it. Nokia "Here Maps" uses it.

Yes. The screen is customizable to show up to four different categories of data, or you can scroll through data that shows direction, either lat long or MGRS, total distance down to the tenths of a mile or KM, waypoints, home base, elevation, and distance to a waypoint, speed, as well as other datapoints. Best GPS for hiking and such if you don't have the few hundred $'s for touch screen models. Really quick satellite capture, works well in every situation I have been in while hiking around the mountains and valleys and thick forests of the Colorado Rockies. I've never had an issue with sat capture, or loss of signal to show me where I am in the world. Recently used in Germany and Poland without an issue.
