You can tell the RoadMate 3030-LM to display Elevation on the main page, as well as speed, time, direction, eta, time remaining. You can select the item you want always displayed on the screen by touching that option from the pop up. These display options are only available when you are in a trip navigate mode. Otherwise, only Elevation, Time, Speed, and direction are available.The only place that I think Longitude/Latitude is displayed is from the Menu and you select Current Location, and there you will see your current Lon/Lat co-ordinates

Just bought two Magellan 3100s and was wondering if they have Bluetooth capability?

I don't recall, as I already have it installed, and yes it will show location/altitude/etc. in the metadata. It's a free download from here:http://nikonimglib.com/nvnx/

Hi Thomas,Since I just have the 78 I'm not sure. With the 78 I bought the micro card that gives me maps of all US, Canada, some Bahamas and Mexico. The original GPS without the card gave only a no detail sketch of landmasses. with the card, it does show depths and boys of the great lakes areas. According to the west marine catalogue, the SC comes with the chart I bought preloaded, which is a really good deal. Had I realized I would be buying the chip, it would have made more sense to get the SC. I'm thinking about adding the chip with topographic features for land travel. http://www.westmarine.com/buy/garmin--gpsmap-78sc-marine-handheld-gps-receiver-with-compass-and-barometer--11553609 Hi Thomas,Since I just have the 78 I'm not sure.

Hello Manuel, No it doesnt display your gps coordinates. It shows a dish looking icon that flashes for 30 seconds or so until the watch has locked on. Side note... Once I transfer my run to Endomondo, the google map route with the streets that I ran on will be there to look at. Hoped that helped.

I do a lot of mountain running & hiking & I own a Casio Pathfinder (Triple Sensor) which does have barometric altimeter readings, so were I to purchase the Garmin 305 (which seems likely at this point) I would be using them in tandem. Of course I could not upload the real time data from the pathfinder into any of the websites mentioned, but my question is this (and I hope this is not too tangential to the Garmin 305 discussion) - does anyone have any information on the accuracy of the Pathfinders altitude accuracy?

Magellan Maestro 4250 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished) My comments are covered in those posted. Selling a GPS with outdate maps is unacceptable. Also, I don't find it intutive at all. I need to carry a copy of the manual with me to get it to do what i want. My TOMTOM program running on my palm was far better but they quit supporting map upgrades so I purchased the Maestro. I don't recommend it.

there are several different models. the premium model has everything including an altimeter. I think mine has a compass that shows a heading to a waypoint, but we are in Mexico right now and I don't have it with me.

Mine does not. It shows a digital compass pointer and the direction to go to get to the last location.

This unit has two modes: (1) a regular vehicle mode; and (2) an RV Mode. It is easy to change between the modes and whenever I do so, I find that the route changes, sometimes considerably. I have no idea what database Magellan uses to compile the routes, but they seem fairly accurate to me.

Yes it does. Just checked it out. There is a window in the lower left corner of the screen which can display time of day, altitude, or direction of travel. Just touch that window and you can select the options.

I use my eTrex for sailing, and so I am not attuned to altitude; nonetheless, I don't recall seeing altitude figures on it. Sorry.

Hello S_P. I own this Jolly Logic AltimeterOne. Before each flight, you press the red button to zero out the display. The Altitude displayed after you retrieve your model is in reference from where you launched it, not sea level. I love this handy little altimeter. I hope this helps.

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.

They were not very current when the unit was made, perhaps ~1-2 yrs old at the time. The 3000T is ancient by today's standards. In fact, even when it was 'new' it was not very impressive compared to its peers! Also was unstable and locked up frequently. (the underlying OS was an imbedded Windows from what I recall) Unless you're getting this unit for FREE, I'd suggest staying away and getting something better like a Garmin. Forget about support from Magellan. Just my 2 cents as a former owner of one of these.

In theory, satellite triangulation is one of the most accurate way of fnding your position, not only in coordinates (Latitude and Longitude), but in altitudes as well. Altimeters in watches uses barometric sensors to measure air pressure to calculate altitude. I'm betting the 305 will give me the closest, if not accurate, altitude than the best barometer sensor watch in the market. Add the convenience of tracking and recording altitude, with your heart rate, time, pace, position and distance at the same time. Why settle for anything less?

To see the elevation on a Garmin, touch the vehicle icon. It will display both the latitude/longitude and the current elevation. However, this is not a readout that changes continuously. One touch of the vehicle icon will freeze that moment's information on the screen. Then if you want an updated readout, you have to cancel that display and touch the icon again. It's simple to do.

EARL -- curious about the time line in your post. I see that on the Magellan site they show Map Upgrade v45 as being the most current. If I read your post correctly, that upgrade was originally released in Dec 2011 and then retracted and in Feb you still didn't have it? That would suggest the current Map Upgrade v45 is at BEST 5 months old (if they released it February 19th
