thanks John

Depends which model, I have three Garmin navs, a Nuvi 865 a Nuvi 2475 and an old Streetpilot 2610 all will accept co ordinates :thumb:

On the 2610 there is a convoluted way to do it.
If you have no luck I will dig it out tomorrow as I have not used it for years and let you know as it may be similar.

Hi,

From http://static.garmincdn.com/pumac/nuvi_2405_2505_series_OM.pdf

Finding a Location Using Coordinates
You can find a location using latitude and longitude coordinates. This method can be helpful when geocaching.
1 Select Where To? > Categories > Coordinates.
2 If necessary, select  > Format, select the correct coordinate format for the type of map you are using, and select Save.
3 Select the latitude coordinate.
4 Enter the new coordinate, and select Done.
5 Select the longitude coordinate.
6 Enter the new coordinate, and select Done.
7 Select View on Map.

Hope the helps

Bob
