new sat nav

[+weston wanderer]

I have just bought a new Nuvi 1340T to replace my old 200 series which has given great service for four years. It seemed cheaper to buy a new unit than upgrade the map again.

 

I have just tried it out and while it is immeasurably better in most ways it doesn't have a coordinates option that I can see. I have always used this option to find parking places for caches on my old unit and don't know how I will manage without. Have I missed something or shall I return it?

 

Edited to say I have now read the manual!

If you use GSAK you can export caches or parking coords as a Garmin POI file and load it into the unit.

 

Then you just simply navigate to the specific POI.

 

BTW. I'm moving this thread to the GPS and Tech forum.

Yes there is I don't know why I didn't see them the first time but I did after I read the manual and saw they should be there. I am a happy purchaser now - it's a great improvement on my old one.
