How do I see coordinates on my Garmin gpsmap 67 map?

I have a 66i which is very similar. When I move the cursor around, the map displays the coordinates of different locations (it doesn't display new coordinates until I stop moving the cursor).

I don't know of any way to turn on and off, that's not an option.

When you are on the Map page, use one of the rocker button arrows to move the cursor.

Don't be dainty about it, move the cursor a good distance. You need to stop the cursor on a vague (unlabeled) part of the map. If you stop on a road, for instance, you will get the name of the road. If you stop on a lake, you will get the name of the lake.

Play around, and if you find it not to work, consider doing a device reset.

Hi. I will fool around with it later today and try the things you suggested. And failing that, as you suggest I will try a reset. I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks for your help. Gord

Ok. When the cursor lands on a road, for example, and the Map provides the road name, just select the Mark key and it will give you the coordinates. Also, the Explore App gives coordinates.

If you want to view the coordinates of the location the cursor is pointing to, just press the Mark key. You can then either save a waypoint or exit the screen by pressing the Quit key.

Hi, I guess I was hoping for the coordinates to be showing as I moved the cursor around so I can move to exact coordinates and then press the mark button and save the waypoint if I wish. That way I can get the coordinates of any location by just moving the cursor around. I will fool around with it some more and if I can’t get the coordinates to follow the cursor I’ll contact Garmin. It seems like it should be able to do that, maybe I’m missing something. Thanks

Not sure I understand your use case, but if you want to start from an exact known coordinate you can simply enter that coordinate. See support.garmin.com/.../

Sorry for the late reply. I would like to always see the coordinates on my Garmin gpsmap67 screen. I would like to be able to move the cursor to different features on the maps and see the coordinates. I would then like to be able to write the coordinates on a paper map for my own use at any time or input them to a different map on my computer. I was pretty sure before I updated the software on my 67 the coordinates were visible, but maybe I'm wrong. Is it possible to have the coordinates visible all of the time? 

On a different note when marking a waypoint I find the cursor has to be on my exact location or when I press "MARK" it puts the waypoint where the cursor is. Is this normal or should it be marking where I'm located regardless of the cursor location?

Thanks

Ok thanks for your explanation.

I'm not aware of a way to have the coordinates of the cursor on the Map page in view at all times. Normally the unit will display the name of the map feature under the cursor and only shows the location if there's no explicit feature defined. This depends on the map used, for example City Navigator maps don't have a lot of features so for many areas on the map the GPSMAP will display coordinates for the cursor position.

When you press Mark the unit will indeed by default mark the coordinates of your current location. When you pan the map, it marks the coordinates of the location pointed at by the cursor.
