Can I enter lat and long to have this point out the direction to the target?

Hello Derick. I am sorry I have not responded before.Yes you can. The GPS is programmed to use Lat and Long and UTM co-ordinates.
1632474
Yes, you need to know the GPS coordinates of your destination. There is a small arrow that appears on the screen indicating what direction the location is. I use this Garmin exclusively for fishing ocean wrecks and it has spot on accuracy.

Yes you can center your location or starting Lat and Long and a directional arrow will point out the way you need to go.

No. However. Push the blue button and say. What direction am I traveling. And. Onstar. Will tell you

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

Yes, you can "Set location" for somewhere else, but I don't recall how to do that. I guess find the address, and maybe the "Set location" option pops up then? But mine finds satellites fairly quickly, even if it's been turned off. If it takes more than 5 minutes, turn it off and start over. Mine usually finds them in a minute or less. I think it does it faster if you turn it on before you start moving. HTHS--

No. This is a "basic" unit that has only two buttons and stores up to three locations - just mark your starting location and forget it until it's time to return. When you're ready to return, select your location and the BackTrack displays direction and distance to travel. Use it to find your car in a crowded parking lot, your treestand or the trailhead. I am directionally challenged and this simply points me back to where I need to go when I'm on the trail and don't know how to get back. It's been a great safety net and simple to use, but not elaborate.

No...this device basically marks your starting position (trailhead, car, etc.) and if needed, will point in the direction of your starting point.

Absolutely, you can point it at pretty much any target and get a distance from where you are. Any hazards or spot on the course you want to get a distance to you can just point and click.

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)?

I think so. I havn't used that option, but I think I saw that on the enter location screen. I can check tonight on my way home.

Yes -- think of it as setting a MOB (man overboard). Once you start tracking the MOB, a path is outlined as to where you are relative to the original mark, plus the bearing back (or reciprical) and distance back to the mark. The same is for using a waypoint. Once the waypoint is set, you can go to it using FIND button, click on the waypoint, hit GO and you get the same path shown plus the reciprical bearing and distance.

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..

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

You can tell the RoadMate 3030-LM to display Elevation on the main page, as well as speed, time, direction, eta, time remaining. You can select the item you want always displayed on the screen by touching that option from the pop up. These display options are only available when you are in a trip navigate mode. Otherwise, only Elevation, Time, Speed, and direction are available.The only place that I think Longitude/Latitude is displayed is from the Menu and you select Current Location, and there you will see your current Lon/Lat co-ordinates

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

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.

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 appear that it can display latitude and longitude for any location. Yes, you can enter coordinates as a destination.
