May sound funny but is it possible to create GPS maps of say different University buildings or office departments so that new students/employees can find their way using phones?

Does handheld GPS allow you to enter latitude and longitude? Or if not, does it show the latitude and longitude on the screen. I want to buy a Garmin etrex H to find the corners of my land. Thanks in advance community.

mlevy79 asked:


I need to find locations in forests based on specific GPS coordinates. If the location is far from a road, the iPhone map works great. But if the coordinates put the location near a road, the iPhone’s map assumes I actually want the location of the road, so it puts the marker down on the nearest road, and the actual location seems to be lost. Surely I can make it stop doing this, right?

lilblackfiero asked:


I know how to enter the coordinates, but the problem I’m having is that Google Earth gives me 2 digits at the end but my GPS wants 3.
For example (random coordinate):
Google Earth:
40°26′47″N
79°58′36″W
Where the 47 and 36 are, which are both double digits, my GPS is asking me for 3 digits. Should I add a “0″ before or after them on my GPS?

balans_99 asked:


Using a unit such as a garmin handheld.
For example if I hike over hills I travel a vertical and a horizontal distance. This combined would be greater than the distance I would travel if the ground was flat. Is this extra distance also calculated, or is it just the simple point to point displacement?

Yeah, everybody knows that, but what is its latitude?
I mean longitude.
And like, what time zone is the north pole in?

jpmoriarty asked:


My walking book for Scotland has a set of GPS waypoints such as “NN 945 518″ and “NN 934 523″ and “NO 025 426″. I think they’re OS grid coordinates, but I don’t see how I can enter them into my GPS (which wants lat/lon data). Can’t see anywhere online to convert them easily – any ideas?
