Author View co-ordinates on Nuvi 660
Hooky

Hi all.

I am a proud owner of a Nuvi 660 and I am really impressed with it.

However I would like to view (on the odd occasion) my current
location's co-ordinates. I tried to figure this out by playing with
the various options. No luck. I then read the manual (if all else
fails R.T.F.M) alas - no joy. :-)

Guru's (that's you) please assist this novice to get his Nuvi to
display the co-ordinates.

Many thanks.

Hooky-

On my 350, I can press on the signal-strength bars in the upper left
corner of the opening menu. It displays a sky map with a list of
satellites, and has current coordinates in the lower left corner.

Brevetodes's suggestion also works on the 350.

The 660 has 2 ways to find current location that I know of.

Touch the signal bars and the co-ords will be bottom left.

Go Where To?> Down arrow> Coordinates The screen says enter
coordinates but the numbers displayed are the current location.

On the 660 just bring up the satellite screen and you will see the
current lat and long, speed, and altitude as well as (of course) the
satellite info

David - who loves his 660 just a little more than his 310
