Can I find my longitude/latitude with my Garmin Street Pilot
|
|
| resonator80 2007-10-23, 3:33 pm |
| I have a Garmin Street pilot C330 (bought early in 2007) and it is
great at navigation.
Is there a way to use it to get your present longitude/latitude?
Obviously the Street Pilot has this information internally.
It would be helpful to have this information in case you have a
breakdown etc, but I haven't seen a way to do this.
Thanks,

| I no longer have my StreetPilot III, so this is from memory. Go to the GPS
data page and the lat-long should be there.

Sorry it is not possible on C330 to get these longitude/latitude.
It is not like the more profesionel SP2XXX series where you have a lot more
things to change og se if you want.

Not on any Garmin c3xx series. You can access the satellite acquisition
page on the nüvi 3xx and 6xx units and your current coordinates are
listed there. The StreetPilot 2xxx and 7xxx units have an option to
display coordinates on the map at all times.

Question then, I read this and went and tried everything I can find in
menu or elsewhere and cannot find where I can make my Streetpilot 2610
display the coordinantes on the map at any time. I even did a very
un-manly thing, I read the manual. Still no joy. So how do I do it??
Thanks,

I don't know. I'm paraphrasing a response from Garmin when I asked which
units could display the coordinates.
Is there anything in the manual index about coordinates?
I checked the Garmin site for the 2610 manual but they don't have it.
The only manual listed for the 2xxx family was the 2820.
The manual for the 2820 says it is under Where To? > My Locations >
Coordinates.
http://www8.garmin.com/manuals/ Str.../>
rsManual.pdf
Start at page 9.
You can check if the 2610 is similar.

Go back to page 42 of the manual (which is page 52 of the PDF file).
Follow the instructions given there for setting up Data Tabs.
Set up one of the map tabs to display "Current Location", job done.
I just went outside to check this on my 2610, and it was easy if
not intuitive, once you know where to start from.

It's gotta be the advancing years,.... or maybe the phase of the moon.
Anyway.... it sure was easy once I found it. Right where you said it
was, don't know how I overlooked it in the manual. At least I was right,
it does not address coordinates anywhere in the index or concordance.
Many thanks, it was right where you said it would be.
