[QUOTE="Karen, post: 184603, member: 5779"] Hi all, I'd like to know if what I'd like to do is possible. Having strong woman's intuition I'd like to "pin point" a spot on a (hard copy) map before I leave on my detecting adventure, and then somehow be able to put that into my gps car thingy so it can get me to the exact spot driving, and then walking when I get to the area. Would this be possible? Or can any of you computer lit guys see a way of doing this? My intuition doesn't seem to work if I look at a map on the GPS and try to pinpoint a spot but I get spots with a normal map. I'd really like to try this, as my first real detector is due to arrive very soon and I'd like to go out next day and see if the spot I've chosen on the map pays off. (Once I've got an idea in my head, it's hard to get rid of it.) :D My GPS thingy is a Garmin nuvi 1450. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
