can you enter latitude and longitude coordinates and then follow a track to the site?

Heck yes , of course it will! I'm not sure how though,There's no copy paste feature. Nice unit!. I bought mine because it has the entire world on its map.jmt

Don't know... haven't tried that yet... usually I'm looking for GPS coordinates based on maps and general topography... a lot of times when your in between high ridges being able to read a map; thus long/lat comes into play.... because the GPS can't pick up a signal..... both are good skills to have.

Yes u can . But unlike coordinites you down load the track will remain blue and does not blink when you get to gz you enter it as a waypoint

It does appear that it can display latitude and longitude for any location. Yes, you can enter coordinates as a destination.

The receive will track where you walk and you can look at the track on the map software that came with it. You have to connect the GPS unit to a camera to change the setting on the tracking frequency though. You may be able to do this on a computer I am not sure.

Yes you can Store way points and pick from to list to navigate to on the eTrec 20

Yes, all three of the POI's you mentioned are installed on the TT One 3rd maps. You do not need to enter the address to go there. Just search for a POI of interest then select and let the GPS navigate you there.

No. The current location isn't always accurate. And the trackr disconnects time from time giving you a false location.
1149361
Yes and no. Yes, just put batteries in it and you can track your path on the trail, right out of the box. If you are expecting trails to be already marked on the built-in map, no. For that, you'll need to download or purchase additional maps.

There is a "Maps" app that comes installed. If you allow it to do so, (and you have Wi-Fi or a data connection) it will show you where you are and give directions to a destination. It doesn't actually give the GPS coordinates but there is an app for that too (I use "My Altitude").
1632474
Yes, you need to know the GPS coordinates of your destination. There is a small arrow that appears on the screen indicating what direction the location is. I use this Garmin exclusively for fishing ocean wrecks and it has spot on accuracy.
2122977
yes, you can mark / create a waypoint on a lake. the accuracy will be based on the accuracy of tracking at that time.

Not that I have been able to figure out. I still have been using MapMyRun to track that information.

Marking a waypoint requires you to hold the "Enter" button down for a couple of seconds. A new screen appears showing the data which is being saved as that waypoint. If you wish to name it something other than the automatically generated numerical name, you can use the arrow pad to move to the waypoint name, highlight it, and then change the number to letters or other symbols and create whatever designation you like. To return to a waypoint you created, you press the "Go To" button and a screen comes up. (The newer versions may use the "Nav" button instead.) A screen comes up with the saved waypoints. A person can scroll through and choose whichever waypoint they want, press enter, and then a choice of screens becomes available, many of them customizable. You can choose anything from a simple pointer screen to various screens which can show you both your direction of travel as well as the direction of travel required to reach your destination by a straight course. If your destination involves a more complex path, you can create routes using several waypoints. The GPS will lead you to them in the order you've programmed them in, and will automatically find them consecutively, moving from one to the next as your reach each one. Some people also use the the back-track feature which, as long as the unit is left on and can "see" the satellites, will save unnamed points in a "recent memory" log. By using this feature a person can follow the most recent paths - easily those paths generated in the most recent 24 hours give-or-take, of GPS "on" use.

Most, if not all GPs units allow for "bookmarking" of sites you are at, as well as entering and saving coordinates for locations you haven't visited yet. Many offer POI's, aka "Point's of interest", and some allow you to upload custom poi lists, such as these http://www.poi-factory.com/taxonomy/term/55, however none of those are specifically geared for ice fishing. As far as which unit to buy, I'd make sure that it's durable & waterproof, or at least water resistant. ;-) Also, I'd suggest a unit that is geared towards marine use, so that it will contain, or at least allow uploads of marine charts or inland lake charts, if that's something that your husband needs for ice fishing.

Think of it as an electronic stage in a multi-cache. You program the coordinates for the next stage into it plus any other info you want to convey. Once a capable GPS gets within 10', it will read the data from the chrip.

No. This is a "basic" unit that has only two buttons and stores up to three locations - just mark your starting location and forget it until it's time to return. When you're ready to return, select your location and the BackTrack displays direction and distance to travel. Use it to find your car in a crowded parking lot, your treestand or the trailhead. I am directionally challenged and this simply points me back to where I need to go when I'm on the trail and don't know how to get back. It's been a great safety net and simple to use, but not elaborate.

Yes. It will also store specific locations and provide navigation guidance to reach a specific stored location.

You can track all distances traveled. Reset to zero is simple. You can track waypoint to waypoint. Current place to any waypoint you have established. This unit can do everything a beginner could want.
