Find Long &amp; Lat Coordinates? Can it map longitude &amp; latitude coordinates in US rural areas &amp; give you the best/only route to it?

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

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--

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.

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.)

gpsfiledepot.com has a number of excellent free topo maps for different regions of the US. I've used the Souheast Topo United States and (3) Northeast Topo United States maps quite a bit. These don't seem to be actively updated. May be ~4yo. Others may be updated more often. Search on the website for maps of the states you need.

Think of it as an electronic stage in a multi-cache. You program the coordinates for the next stage into it plus any other info you want to convey. Once a capable GPS gets within 10', it will read the data from the chrip.

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.

just use the cordinates given by the gps. what is a "grid coordinate" anyway.

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.

Hi I wish I had a answer for you I am not satified with the maps or the POI's. I live in New England and the maps are ok but the POI' stink I have a sked Simplesoft many times how to update the maps and POI's.. If you find out what other maps we can use please let me know. My garman is far better....

Hi friend As far as I know,Most of the maps can work only if GPS location is on. Yes you can use maps if you are using wifi or wimax but the moment you switch off wifi it will stop showing the details!

The POI Loader needs longitude and latitude data. You will need another map software that converts from a street address to longitude and latitude. Garmin MapSource works but you might have to pay.

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.

there is not manual longitude/latitude nob. It is motor driven so you would likely have difficulty doing that. Better to have extra AA batteries at hand

Yes, the LM after the model number means Lifetime Maps, but you need an E-mail address to get the notices of map updates and downloads. Plus the timed to update you GPS, usually takes about one hour on a 64-bit PC the first time you update. Did this help ? Also it is an awesome GPS system.
