GPS

Anyone have the Magellan Maestro 3100? I just bought one and am trying to find out how to enter the location in latitude and longitude instead of just the street address. Magellan support has not replied and it has been three days.

    My GPS saved me the trouble of sitting in traffic because of a bad accident. It's such a useful little tool, I am very glad it's there, and I have one. [:D]

    SCOTUS decided; you need a warrant to place on a vehicle.

    No this isnt a question on which one is best, but a question on if any one has the same Model. This is the one im getting. Done deal.

    With GPS the Government knows exactly where you are...that scares me!

    Everyone seems to know where I am. Even at the mall, the directory says "You are here". There's no escape. [:(]

    Try going to the system setup menu and look at the UNITS or Coordinate System options; I'm pretty sure you can change from address only to Transverse Mercator or WGS84, since that's what the machine gets from the satellites and processes into addresses.
    WGS 84 stands for the World Geodetic Reference System of 1984, but if all you are interested in is lat/lon; that's all it is.
    There's a newer reference system out there called GEOID03, which outputs in WGS84-type lat/lon units and is a little tighter on elevations, since it's the "new" mathematical model of our Earth's surface.

    Shoulda gotta Garmin.....

    GPS systems are great when you've found a good fishing spot on the lake -- you can always go right back to it.
