Finding Lat/Long Locations on 650t and Basecamp

Former Member over 10 years ago

Is it possible to enter latitude and longitude coordinates into Basecamp so I can find these locations out in the field with the 650t?

Thanks, in advance.

Go to the Find menu at the top.

There is a Locate Coordinates option. Does this service your needs?

Or hit Ctrl + T ... just then select the correct lat/long format if you have a location that you need to input.

Note though that if you can locate the spot in Basecamp simply by using the map it doesn't really matter what coords you select in both Basecamp and your GPS. Basecamp sends the location details to your GPS and it will show the location regardless of what format you've selected in each.

It sure does. Thanks. I had seen that but thought it was just a way to locate the center of the map. Duh.

Glad I could help! :)

It also handles lots and lots of different grid types.
