Can I use this devise to find the coordinates of a given location for use by GIS/analysis?

I would not recomend this particular gps. I am very unhapppy with its system..

you have to move the arrow to the point on the map the etrex go all over enable the was and it's pretty accurate

Maybe! It depends on the level of accuracy required by the analysis. To get a close approximation, my eTrex 20 works just fine. Given time, clear skies and an unobstructed position it provided elevations within plus or minus 2 feet.

Don't know... haven't tried that yet... usually I'm looking for GPS coordinates based on maps and general topography... a lot of times when your in between high ridges being able to read a map; thus long/lat comes into play.... because the GPS can't pick up a signal..... both are good skills to have.

The GPS tracking itself should work all over the world.What might be limited may be the map material available for your region that allows you to see the paths on a map.As a workaround it is always possible to use Google Earth to visualize the paths, which should have satellite imagery for most locations on earth, and is available for free.

Yes on Date and time if the feature is turn-on. I do not know about stamping with the coordinate, but the coordinate can be seen if we use the ViewNX2 software. If you are in the remote area (overseas) the coordinate can be off by many miles though the problem may be the accuracy of the Google map. For example I was boating and the coordinate showed the boat went through an island

no: Mine displays in the compass mode in degrees. In the three tracking mode the displays are in degrees, miles or yards or degrees, meters, kilometers. No coordinates

ask your provider for the coordinates to your zip code and you should be fine

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 Direct TV website provides that information. It will ask you your zip code and then give the coordinates by which to aim.

I don't see why not. It is a "global" positioning system after all. Keep in mind that it doesn't show maps. It will only show the path you walked so you can retraces your steps as well as direction and distance to saved waypoints.

I do NOT believe there is. I am using their "Content Manager" to keep my content GPS updated and it's as slow as the first day I got it. Many times I've already passed a road and/or executed a turn by a couple of seconds before my position is actually recognized (and I am talking about suburbs with no building obstructions.) If you are reading this before purchase, do yourself a favor and consider something else.

there is not manual longitude/latitude nob. It is motor driven so you would likely have difficulty doing that. Better to have extra AA batteries at hand

No there is no where to input that data. I would not recommend this GPS, although it is sold as a RV GPS the first road it tried to have me go on was a parkway (cars only) with low bridges even after I put in the RV height.

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

I wouldn't say so. just the coordinates are important. the low quality map data that comes with this would not add to the info you are getting.

Yes, I know the others say no, but when I've loaded the pics on my iPad, you can see the location on the map. I don't know how you do that without GPS

just use the cordinates given by the gps. what is a "grid coordinate" anyway.

It gives location/ grids anywhere in the world based off of where ever you are, it just depends on the grid system you'd like to use. Hope this was helpful
