Can this unit be used to set in a Long and Lat (h.mm.mmm) and find that location?

Yes, the unit will accept coordinates in a Lat./Long format. I can't remember the steps involved to input the coordinates but I remember it being fairly intuitive. The unit will also tell you the Lat./Long. of your stored points.

It does Geocaching and I believe you enter Long and Lat to find the sites, but I have never Geocached.I hope this helps

On the gps, I don't know if the maps can be updated to Europe, Asia, etc, there might be information on the manufactures web site,

The short answer is NO. This device is only capable of calculating the GPS coordinate of your current location. It is not designed to guide you to any destination. If you decide to purchase an expensive Offline Map software (or Application, which you can download in your smartphone), then this device can provide you with additional accuracy, which is better than the accuracy of in-built GPS of the smartphones.

the way it's supposed to work is to press the middle left button. keep it still outside. it should say searching for gps. then when it finds satellite it will let you pick pace or time or clock from the middle right button. then the top right button will start the distance

Depends on what you mean by "exact." Figure that you will typically have more than ten feet of uncertainty on your current location. Perhaps a lot more. You can enter a lat/long that is within a few feet, and if you know that you can calculate the number fairly easily for 700 feet true north (other directions much more complicated). If you are standing on a spot, and say "mark this," you can use it to move the "destination point" anywhere you want, but it'll not be anything like survey-accurate. You'll have error on starting point, error on direction (+/- one at least degree), an error on distance (I'd assume a minimum of +/- five feet), and an error on current location (again, how far depends on satellites, trees, terrain, etc) of an average of 15+'. If that meets your definition of "exact," they yes. If you need to mark a survey monument for use in a court case, then it's not anywhere close to "exact" enough. Trying to find one that already exists, and you want to minimize your search area, then yes it'll get your sorta-kinda close. Can you clarify what you mean by "exact," and "north" (true vs magnetic)?

Go to your menu and click on longitude,and follow instructions in the manual that I have included here. If you need assistance from there please feel free to call us at 928-373-0193.

It's not a GPS. If you mean for an AM/FM/WB location, just as soon as the signal is clean enough. For the WB, if you mean how far away of a signal can you get, I'm not sure.

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

In geocaching I've had very good success getting close to ground zero, although thick tree cover does sometimes cause the Magellan to take a little time to zero in on my location. You can put in latitude and longitude by adding a waypoint. It's pretty easy to do, but not the most intuitive thing to figure out the first time you try it.

No. The current location isn't always accurate. And the trackr disconnects time from time giving you a false location.

I have used this GPS for geocaching and hunting...it gets me within a few feet most of the time...even in tree cover....yes lat and long can be added using a waypoint..

Pretty much any of the Garmin hand held units will do that, even the older, discontinued models. When you say "GPS coordinates" there are several standards, inlcuding lat/long, UTM and MGRS. GPS Made Easy (GPS Made Easy: Using Global Positioning Systems in the Outdoors) is a pretty good book that covers all the basics.

The device only makes available the position in longitude and lattitude notation into the exif of the picture. Works fine, but cannot be used as a compass or whatsoever for navigational purposes. Henedu.

Yes. I've never done it; but the manual says you can enter & find locations by geographic coordinates (e.g., helpful when geocaching).

Good morning! I am apologize to inform you that I have never used it for that is particular function. However, the GPS function is astonishing! It has been used all through the US and South America with no problem! I hope this helps!

Hello. unfortunately the maps will not work since they are programmed for the U.S. the unit will work, but the maps wont.

Hey M. , Did you add Mapping solfware yourself ? If you did, you have to have the solfware Settings , set for the GPS unit. Mapping setting have to match. Not sure where but it should say something about downloading maps to the unit. A friend of mine didn't have the setting matching and we were off about 1/4 mile. This is not good when out hunting.
