Does this unit power down when it is not moving? Is it possible to extract longitude and latitude from data?

The unit does not power down when not moving. You can set it to collect data at time or distance intervals. You can exports tracks to gpx, nmea, kml, or csv file types permitting access to Latlong data using Holux ezTour software.

#1 No. The unit logs as long as the switch is on and, of course, the battery has power. #2 Yes. The unit records the track. At regular intervals, the unit logs lat/long with time. When you get to a laptop, you use software to copy the track to your computer. The Holux EZTour software is free for the purchaser. EZTour allows you to set the controls on the device. Export your tracks to the laptop. View your track on Google Maps in Street-View or Satellite. View in Google Earth and save. Edit or merge your tracks, Write lat/long in photos and video. Create webpage for all that and play your movement on the trail. There are more software programs to do these things. And, so much more, that I could write a book. But, not here.

This unit does not remember any fine tuning settings when power off. You must readjust each time the unit is put into service. Hope this helps

No, not completely. At least not that I'm aware of. When it's been idle for a little while, it goes into a standby mode where it displays BC 5.12 (the model number) and the current time.

This is strictly a receiver, it will not record or show data. It is meant to be used as a tool for a program that needs accurate GPS info

Yes, with some limitations.You set your longitude/latitude and then enter a single "offset time", ranging from negative 3 hours, 59 minutes to positive 3 hours, 59 minutes. You can then program the timer to turn on at sunup, sundown, or a specific time. You also can program it to turn off at sunup, sundown, or a specific time. The offset time you entered will be added to the sunup and sundown.So the single offset time applies to both sunup and sundown. For example, if you set the offset time to -2 hours, then the timer can turn on/off 2 hours before sunup and/or on/off 2 hours before sundown. But you can't individually set the timer to turn on, say, 2 hours before sunup and 3 hours after sundown.Hope this helps.

No, this unit does not log any locations. It will only respond to commandswhen that command is given.

We do not use the unit in this configuration, but I have found that power saving features make the device unresponsive for a while, so we turned the feature off altogether. Hope it helps.

Not true on my unit. As soon as I plug in the USB power supply, it stops recording. I've contacted Garmin for clarification but no response yet.

I haven't used it a lot yet but I think as long as you don't put the TM back in the cradle ( just pull it straight up and lock out of the water so you can use the big motor) the GPS will still be on. If you pull it up and lay it down in the cradle it will turn off electrically. I 'll have to try what I think you are saying!

I'm not sure...I don't leave it on when it's not in use. I only turn it on when I go to back up my files and then I power down after I'm done/eject.

Hi Christine, I don't remember trying to locate its position using my computer because I don't think it works. This unit is a GPS recorder. As such it does NOT send out any signal. So it cannot be located in real time. But since it records its locations, you can download its location file after a trip and find out where it went. Hope this reply helps. :-)

It does not hibernate or turn off when using it in the tracker mode. I have not used it just as a "find my way back device".

No. There is a power button on the top left side. To b honest; your husband will hate this gps. As long as it is working it is a great unit, but first it will freeze up and he will have to reset the satellite. After that is will start to power itself off and on and will not stop. But anyway you don't have to hook it to the computer for it to power up.

I've used my GPS quite a bit and the battery is still going strong. I turn it on just before I head into the woods to mark my starting point and then turn it off. When I'm ready to head back to my truck or camo I turn it back on and follow the arrow home.. so it's not like the unit is on the entire time I'm in the woods. Hope this helps you out.
