Garmin Oregon 400t. How do you see the coordinates of your way points?


MidCoast

Question

I have a Garmin Orgeon 400T. Anybody know how to see the coordinates of your marked and saved waypoints. In case one would need to give out the waypoint coordinates or transfer the waypoints from one unit to another.

On most Garmins, when you pull up the waypoint, either by the WHERE TO? command or the FIND command, you should see the coordinates there when you open the waypoint up ( just before you select GO ).

Hopefully this works for you Oregon, I have a Colorado and I could pull those coordinates up pretty easy.

I am no meaning to be disrespectful or rude but-

I could guess as to the answer as I am familiar with a lot of Garmins but not familiar with the Oregon so I would have to read the manual to be sure. I would wholeheartedly suggest you and anyone else that picks up a GPS for the first time do the same. And then go through it again every so often even after you think you know it. You will always learn something new and maybe be able to use the tool to at least some of its capability. You will appreciate the tool so much more.

I have one model of Garmin that I often refer to the manual. I have had that model for around 5 years.

Garmin has manuals for all the models available for download on their site.

Unfortunately for the 400 Oregon, it doesnt display the coordinates when I select it as a waypoint and before pressing "go".

I've downloaded the manual for the 400 Oregon. It is like 50 pages or so. It doesnt list anywhere on how to see the coordinates for waypoint. It shows how to get to the coordinate screen to type in coordinates, but not how to see waypoint coordinates.

Try this-

Touch Waypoint Manager

Touch the waypoint.

Touch the attributes.

You should be able to view waypoint coordinates and other properties and edit them at this time if you wish.

I have the Garmin 450 so the 400 will probably work the same. Go to the Way Point Manager. Touch the way point you want. (There is no attributes selection as stated). Touch the down arrow once. Select Change Location. That will display the coordinates of the way point. Then just exit out of it if you don't want to change it. Another way is to select Where To? Then select Waypoints, Select the way point you want, that will show the map with the waypoint and the waypoint bar at the top. Touch the bar and it will display the coords. Next method. If you have the map displayed with the waypoint visable, touch the waypoint, it will show the bar for the waypoint at the top again, touch the bar and it will display the coords. There may be other ways also but those are the three I know of.
