HowardDouglas Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 I wanted to go to a store in Hagerstown MD this past weekend and it wasnt in my City Navigator, I was using my Gamrin 2610. I saw the other day that people said stores like Bass Pro Shop and REI list their coordinates. I looked up the stores and none of them gave coordinates. How can you find the coordinates or can you?

Taxman003 Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Find out the address of the place you want and go to www.maporam.com I just did it for my brother's new address and it was bang on. I don't know if there's an easier or quicker way but this way isn't too cumbersome. Mike Quote Link to comment
+Stunod Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Geocode.com will give you coords from an address. Quote Link to comment
HowardDouglas Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 (edited) www.maporam.com brings up something about webpages?? It came up with : Lat: 39.349162 39:20:56.983N Lon: -076.692136 76:41:31.690W Which set of numbers do I put into my 60CS? I see the N and W but how do you enter in the rest?

+Stunod Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 www.maporam.com brings up something about webpages?? That was a typo. It should have been www.maporama.com Quote Link to comment
+Jeeters Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Are you blind? The Bass Pro Shops list the coords right on each stores' page. Under the mailing address, it says GPS Coordinates: Examples: Memphis store Cincinnati Same thing with REI. Go to a store's page, and the coords are right under the picture of the store's building. "GPS Coordinates" Example: Conshohocken, PA Quote Link to comment
HowardDouglas Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 I for some reason didnt see it, but now I do, THANKS! Quote Link to comment
+embra Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Although it's a more complex answer than the straightforward question you asked, there's a page on the Wahoo site that will allow you to take driving directions from mapsonus.com and convert them into a route to the address you specify.

I looked up the stores and none of them gave coordinates. How can you find the coordinates or can you? REI lists the coordinates of each store on their web site. Examples: College Park, Seattle Be careful to use the right datum. Quote Link to comment
Taxman003 Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Sorry about the typo. www.maporama.com is the site and gives the co-ords. Slap me with a wet knapsack. Mike Quote Link to comment
