Where can i?

Do you have mapsource or the update dvd for your unit? If so, you can use that program to see where the lat and long point to.

No i don't i just got this 200w the other day, but no cd with it.

Register you unit, then CALL Garmin tech support and tell them you just got your unit and that you would like a map DVD to use with your pc. Many have had success getting this at no cost.

Are your maps up to date? You should have City Navigator NT 2008 on your garmin. If not, also ask for an update DVD. Depending on who you talk with, these should be sent free or nearly free.

Either one will have the maps on it. The map dvd is obvious, of course. The update DVD requires a little work, but it is there.

Hope this helps.

Anyone else out there know of a website that accepts lat and long to generate a location on a map?

In the unit enter lat/long hit next, show map

DOH!

Of course you can use your unit to look at the location.

Check out this link here

You can do that in Google Maps.

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl

Enter Lat, Lon then click Searh Maps. Click Satellite to see physical location.

Also, check out the "My Maps" tab for a bunch of additional tools on Google.

thanks for sharing this valuable map that gives the longtitude and latitude anywhere on earth

How do i know what maps my unit has.

To find out what you have:

tap WRENCH, bottom of screen
tap SETTINGS
tap SYSTEM
tap ABOUT, bottom of screen

Your versions will be listed.

Go to Wrench/Settings > Map > Map Info

CN North America v2008 is the latest version for North America

v8 was the previous version for North America

Getting back to the original question, mapquest can accept coordinates if you want to see it on the computer rather then on the nuvi

Yes i found that,

Thanks to all that answerd my questions.
I do have North America NT 2008

Where do i enter the lat and lon i see where i can enter a address.

Put the lat, long in the address line
S/B in the following format for the US

lat N, Long W

or 35.678901N,85.678901W

OOPs - Sorry , this info is for Google Earth !
Mea Culpa !

Same page where the address is scroll down to the Coordinates icon, should be at the bottom, that is where my 260 has it.

Thank you very much, i guess i need to play with it some more to see every thing.

Interesting.... The coordinates of 41.811933 -88.150955 show this area as a US Military Reservation using the link above. This link uses Google and the map says TeleAtlas 2008.

Just browsing directly to Google Maps and inputting the same coordinates in the search bar shows the same map, but now it's a Navteq 2008 map and does not have the designation of Military Reservation.

TeleAtlas shows the driveways around the parking lots and buildings but incorrectly identifies it as a Military Reservation.

Navteq doesn't show the driveways or identify the area as anything special. It's just an office park.

I wonder why Google would use Naveteq for some and TeleAtlas for others?

My guess is that it's the API that boulter is using. They must be combining data from more than one source. So the error comes from that other source not from Google.
