I might add that a latitude/longitude feature will be must-have for my
next GPS. There are plenty of dispersed camp sites in the backwoods and
desert out here that folk write about, but only give lat/long coordinates.
I had to take a little hiking Gekko GPS with a bitty postage-stamp screen
(far too dinky for my far-sighted eyes) to locate the last site we camped
at. Got me right there, though. Or at least within 39 feet of the site. I
looked for another site 39 feet away but couldn't find one, so I settled
for the one I found.
