I'm considering a hand held GPS. I don't want the bells and whistles just what in need to get where I want to go and go back to it. Any advice will be appreciated.

Terry 55 said:I will be looking for ghost towns that I get the coordinates through Topozone and Terra Server so what I'm looking for is one that I can put in the Lat. and Long. and then track to that point. So where does that put me in what I need to look for? I looked at a few handhelds but I don't know if they have this feature.

I guess what I am asking can I take my north and west numbers and put them in terra server and get topo's or sat. pics or do i need to convert my numbers, i though i read some where that gps cor. are not the same as long lat, HELP PLEASE
Thanks Greg
I'm not exactly sure of your question Greg. I don't use lat/long, but the UK national grid. The UK is divided into 10km squares, each with a two letter code. Then these squares are divided again. So a coordinate bring you down to within a couple of yards of your location. ie TQ 694 683.gcollins said:I located a ghost town Sunday and took GPS reading, my First, are gps numbers the same as LONG LAT, or are they diff. in some ways?
