"Do current versions that sit
on the dash allow input of GPS coordinates?"

I have a Garmin Pilot device and it does NOT allow me to input GPS
coordinates. Addresses, yes. Coordinates, no.  But once at a GPS location, I
can tell the unit to remember it.

Hi Steve,

OK, I have made the changes.

I continue to be open to suggestions from all of you. 

I have a Garmin that will plot a road route to an
address but I don't think it will plot a road route
to GPS coordinates.  Do current versions that sit
on the dash allow input of GPS coordinates?

(I have a hand-held that allows input of GPS
coordinates but it does not plot road routes...)

Thanks,

Howard
