Co-ordinates???
Rather basic question, so sorry in advance:
I use a Garmin 550, if that has any baring on the situation? I've hypothetically found a point of interest in goolge maps; what's the best way to get accurate GPS co-ordinates so that I can use them when plotting a future destination? I tried doing this in the past, with limited success. Maybe I'm just a luddite! Thanks in advance :thumbup1: |
Example for Box Hill.
Find it on GoogleEarth: http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/...hopaga/GE1.jpg Zoom in enough to see the car park and put the cursor (usually a hand) on the car park entrance. Read co-ordinates at the bottom of the screen: http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/...hopaga/GE2.jpg 51 deg 15.353' N 0 deg 19.344' W If you need a different format for the co-ordinates, select it here: http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/...hopaga/GE3.jpg (Tools - Options from the main toolbar to get to this menu) That should do you. :D Quote:
(So I know how to load it with googleEarth co-ordinates, it's the only way to put a route on it!) :eek3: Cheers |
Looks like a winner - thanks for that! :D
