Can you enter GPS coordinates?

Yes you can....mark a waypoint then "save and edit"...you can change the one you marked with the one you want...pretty easy...Good luck...Also, check Google or the manual as to how to :enter a waypoint:..

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.

No there is no where to input that data. I would not recommend this GPS, although it is sold as a RV GPS the first road it tried to have me go on was a parkway (cars only) with low bridges even after I put in the RV height.

I believe you can I haven't had it very long but I recall seeing a screen that said enter waypoint.

No, the GPS receiver is only for logging your position. It is not a navigation system.

Yes, do it all the time. You can use any mapping program that can create GPS coordinates (Google Maps) and either transfer or copy to the Garmin (I use RoadTrip from Garmin; MacGPS Pro works great also). Be aware that GPS is not all that accurate and a point can be off be 10 meters (30 feet) or more depending on satellite positions and movement of the GPS unit. For general use its great, marking hazards is a bit more general area and caution should be used. Hope this helps.

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").

Yes. It's under Mode > GPS. It can also show you a live compass, if needed.

I believe you can opt to have street names spoken. Haven't use mine lately since my Lexus has the GPS system!

it's simple.......you can't!!! the date and time is automatically synchronized with the GPS, the only thing you can do is set the time zone.

One way I think that you can use FM transmiier. Connect it to your GPS and listen direction/Mp3 on FM!!

No. I bought this for my mother as a present. By the time it came for her to open it, it was to late to return.the GPS doesn't work at all. Can't get a map to any where

Hmm i guess it says there is GPS in the title. How does it work?? I have this product. I also don't know how to update the information.

you can track the GPS a few different ways using this device: 1- dial the device phone number and it will reply with a text message including the GPS coordinates as well as a link to google map2- Automatic tracking - Send the "fix" command via sms etc...Yes a manual is included and all the commands are well documented....

Yes. The screen is customizable to show up to four different categories of data, or you can scroll through data that shows direction, either lat long or MGRS, total distance down to the tenths of a mile or KM, waypoints, home base, elevation, and distance to a waypoint, speed, as well as other datapoints. Best GPS for hiking and such if you don't have the few hundred $'s for touch screen models. Really quick satellite capture, works well in every situation I have been in while hiking around the mountains and valleys and thick forests of the Colorado Rockies. I've never had an issue with sat capture, or loss of signal to show me where I am in the world. Recently used in Germany and Poland without an issue.

Yes, in the GPS Sensor menu you can manipulate the display between the Compass, Altimeter, Latitude, Longitude, Time positioning was performed and the Barometer. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCTS5_ADV.PDF#page=135

First you must set up your GPS to the same format of the coordinates you are trying to put in it. 1. Go to SETUP&gt;UNITS&gt;POSITION FORMAT and change the Position Format to the format of the coordinates you are trying to input. In your case it would be "H D.D" (Decimal Degree Format) To navigate to the coordinates, hold the enter/mark button. Then Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the coordinates. Actually, follow this list. A. Firmly Hold enter/mark B. Use your up/down arrows to highlight the coordinates at the bottom C. Once you've highlighted the coordinates, Press enter/mark once D. Use the arrow and enter button to edit the coordinates. E. Once you've put the right coordinates, press the arrow keys to highlight OK F. Hit Enter. G. (Optional, give the coordinate a name. I.e. Cache. Home. Entrance. Trail fork. etc) Default names are numbers starting with 001. I suggest naming your coordinates, if you don't name them, have a piece of paper that tells you what coordinate is what. I.e. 001 = Home 002 = Work 003= Secret Dead Body H. Once you've entered the name, or are satisfied with your coordinates, highlight "OK?" I. Hit enter. J. Firmly Hold "goto" (It should open up all your waypoints grouped by the first letters of the name). K. Select the group in which your waypoint falls (0-9, A-H, I-P, Q-Z) L. Highlight your waypoint. M. Hit Enter/Mark. N. It will take you to your compass page, it will show the direction and distance to/from your waypoint. Tip: I suggest investing in USGS MGRS maps and using your GPS to figure out where you are on a physical map...I don't suggest using this GPS as your sole method of navigation, as it may lead you off a cliff or up a mountain, as it has no real map data, just the ability to know your coordinates and elevation.
