On the GPS units you use on your bike (or in your car), can you put in the coordinates to find a location? I have plenty of aviation gps experience, not so much these units. TIA.

Hi, Keith! I haven't tried it myself but apparently, it can be done quite easily. Here is a short YouTube video on how this is done on Garmin devices:

Here's the deal, I think it's easier to put in 123 elm street, tampa, Florida. Then lats and long coordinates. Dang pilots can fly around the world but don't ask them to drive to mickydees!

Actually my GPS experience is quicker with Lat/Long than street addys. enter city name, press enter. Enter street name, press enter. Did you mean.....Enter street number press enter. Did you mean.......
Enter LAT 30.02, press enter. Enter LONG -90.01, press enter. Go....Lakefront airport New Orleans.
Problem with LAT/LONG is having the database.
Our facilities are all by LAT/LONG.
Thusly it is easier to enter streets and addys.
Did I confuse anyone?
