my garmin e-trex venture hc does not show legals. however if you know your coodinates (usgs online map) you can mark plots. (super accurately with a small dose of geometry and a lazer.)

Yes, this can be done in the setup under units. Go the Garmin.com and under support you can look at the manual for any device you want to research.

Yes, I have downloaded google skymap, a compass and speedometer (gps required apps). I couldn't find the info on Asus.com but Phonearena.com has it listed as having GPS.

Thank you for your help. I finally installed the unit in my truck yesterday to test it out. Here's another question. Is their a way to program it to map out Commercial Routes as I drive a large truck and can't go on any parkways?

Think of it as an electronic stage in a multi-cache. You program the coordinates for the next stage into it plus any other info you want to convey. Once a capable GPS gets within 10', it will read the data from the chrip.

Yes. It comes with a map function that is the same as GPS, and you can also get several free GPS apps.

Yes. The screen is customizable to show up to four different categories of data, or you can scroll through data that shows direction, either lat long or MGRS, total distance down to the tenths of a mile or KM, waypoints, home base, elevation, and distance to a waypoint, speed, as well as other datapoints. Best GPS for hiking and such if you don't have the few hundred $'s for touch screen models. Really quick satellite capture, works well in every situation I have been in while hiking around the mountains and valleys and thick forests of the Colorado Rockies. I've never had an issue with sat capture, or loss of signal to show me where I am in the world. Recently used in Germany and Poland without an issue.

I hear they work well but I haven't purchased them. I only use the land maps, Sygic.

Yes it does.....I am using work laptop with Windows 8 and it works fine....haven't used any gps feature though, just the maps itself.

No, I don't believe the GPS will display on the panels. And I'm thinking they are probably too small and the wrong aspect ratio to be any good for GPS detail anyway.

Thanks, Valdvogel...you gave me just the info I needed. Of course, the first inclination is to purchase an expensive NUVI, but it's good to know that an earlier hand-held works even better! We already have a GPS (Staples brand) that works great for road directions, but it uses wrong coordinates for geo-caching. It's just too difficult to"translate" the coordinates for every cache! Thanks again!

No, it does not work with an actual satellite map but you can mark as many way point as you want to have your route mark.It finds the satellite in an average of 60/90 seconds.

Yes it will do area calculations. I have used it to walk off my property line and it was accurate compared to my survey.I have been pleased with my Oregon 600, wish I had gotten the 600t for the extra topo maps included. Yes I would purchase again.

The unit will track your dogs with the DC40 collars and the basic GPS functions are available. I an not sure what map services are available for your particular area. It would be best to contact Garmin on line to see what maps are available.

It has GPS, but most people found the software implementation to be seriously lacking. It takes a while to update your position. I've read that this has been fixed in the FroYo pre-release that was leaked, though, so it may be better once the official release hits in September.

No, and the map that comes with it is outdated even for US usage. This GPS doesn't hold up. I only got to use it once and then it blacked out on me and never came back on. Junk as far as I'm concerned. When and bought me a Tom Tom. I bought the DragonPad because it was cheap and you know the saying, you get what you pay for.

Any app that requires GPS will work. No problem using it with the native Maps app or Google Maps. Pls note that I had problems with this particular device and replaced it with the Dual Electronics XGPS 150 which works well.
