good evening all just a question about gps.
is there a gps that you can type coordinates into and they will show you where it is in map form
reason for asking is im hopeless with directions and i find camps6 etc hard to understand to me its not very user friendly it will just say 5k s/e on soso hwy.
well i drive around and cant find
the spot but most
camp spots have coordinates listed so if i just typed then in it should show me on the gps where it is
thanks all in advance
cheers jim

Any of the marine or trekking type hand helds will do this for you. They are less than $200
If you just want directions as the crow flys without any mapping
I am quite sure my Garmin Nuvi does it as
well, have a poke around in your menu and I think you will find it as an option

Garmin 1390T will give you coordinates live in Where am I, or you can input coordinates as a destination.
HOWEVER when I was looking for the crashed Beaufort near
Bamaga , I found my coordinates differered slightly from Ron Moon's book. I do not know whether his or
mine were wrong, but they were only say 50 metres out.

G'day Jim
I just had a look on my old Tomtom One XL, about 5 or 6 years old, (maps are up to date, I use it for city work), and it has this feature.
I know my Garmin has, thats what it's for, but I would think any reasonable brand in the last few years would have this feature. May take a bit of menu searching or manual reading, but it is likely to be there.
Cheers, Dave
