How close does it get to the true location? Also is it possible to put in latitude&amp; longitude?

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. Not really. It records lat/long with time. But, the accuracy of all consumer GPS units is 50 feet. So, if you sit in one place for 15 minutes then any GPS unit will show you moving around that spot at incredible speeds. It could show you 50 feet to the left one second and 50 feet to the right the next. Computer software can smooth that out and give you a general overall speed.

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

Yes, however I would really suggest, unless you are really familiar with the area you are in, that should you go to a slightly higher model one that has map capability. This model gives you all the basic information you need, coordinates and direction etc, but has no map capabilty, which means no map is shown in the window, just your current location coordinates and a direction arrow for the direction in which you need to go to get to where you want to go, but no map to show you where you are on a map. It is your choice.

At times it takes a 90 seconds or better to find location even starting from home. Changing your location via the 350 will not make it faster.

Satellite mode? Explain what you mean please. GC will get your position and will show the closest caches, compass direction., and will show the caches on a map. The closer you get it shows how many feet you are away, if you Like you can set a beep to notify when you get close to ground zero

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

It is a Polnav GPS system. It actually is pretty good, however I usually will put in a zip code instead of a location whenever a location has 2 words or more. This is because there is no space bar to separate words when putting in an address. One other irritating feature is (while ETA and time left to travel to destination is displayed), the current time is not! Other than these couple of areas that need improvement, the system is a good one.

Inside, a gps works shotty at best, this unit is no different. You could give it a try but the unit is supposed to have a view of the sky.Another problem you will find is the range, the directions say 200' away at a minimum and I have found that to be true.

Responds well! I use iPhoto and an option in iPhoto will show a small map in the lower right wit exact location. Also from the camera you can plug GPS coordinates into a web site and see the location

Yes you can take it anywhere, the locator works based upon a radius not an actual GPS system. i.e. The tags are not hooked up to a satellite like your car GPS.

As far as I remember you can follow your reverse course. It doesn't have "maps" as such, but plots your course and gives you your current location. I used it for a backup on my sailboat and just logged the lat/Lon on my charts along with my DR plotting. Since there are no maps but only plotted waypoints, you can use this anywhere you have GPS sat. coverage.

no, it just logs its position, however, when plugged on the PC, it can inform your current location.

Correct, but remember, the "place" is entered as a latitude and longitude in decimal format. Not a big deal if you observe from only one or two places, but a great help if you get around. No need to look up the latitude and longitude or keep a list of them. Just start an alignment, wait a bit for the device to read the satellites signal, then align as usual. I like mine and recommend it.

It will easily give you coordinates--long and latitude down to about 15 feet, which I understand is about as exacting as you will get with anything.

I'm getting about 5-10 ft accuracy when a manually input a coordinates using Log and Lat.

It gives Long-Lat position worldwide on land and sea but there is no hardware or software for maps. GPS location only.
