Searching address in GPS.........

[Shor]

Anyone knows how to search a location by just keying in the Latitude and Longitude . I never used this method before, any bros know how to do it?

Ooops nobody can advice on this?

What make and model ? Look for button to search by coordinates, grid reference, MGR, set location or similar.

 

E.g. in this site has an example for Garmin Nuvi 200:

Hope it's not a China map. :) There is some regulation in China that requires all GPS maps sold in China have an offset, so that overseas devices will not load the map correctly out of the box.

Bro, I hope I understand your question. anyway I will try to cover everything.

1. You need go to google map and zoom in on the location where you think where the place you are looking for. You can ask your friends who have been there to point to you where it is on the map.

2. Point the cursor to that spot on the google map.

3. Right click on the mouse and a small window will appear, you will see the words "Whats Here" at the bottom of this small window

4. Left click on the words " whats here" and you will see some figures in the slim horizontal window at the top of the map. That is the longitude and latitude for that place you are looking for.

5. Enter these figures into your gps device.

6. If you are using A Garmin, after clicking Where To, scroll down to Coordinates and tab it.

7. Another window will appear, you will see on the words enter coordinates at the top but dont enter them yet.

8. Instead look at the left top corner there is an icon with tree short horizontal bars, tab it.

9. Tab the word Format.

10. Make sure you choose the same format as in google by tabbing the format h ddd.ddddd* (* for degree) and tab save.

11. Now you will be back to the page where you can enter the coordinates, tab the small window at the top to enter the first coordinates and go on from there.

 

No wonder no one reply to your question, answer very long la.
