Garmin 440s help
 
How do you input coordinates on the Garmin 440s? I scaned through the manual but it didn't say..... Y'all are more than welcome to pass on some coordinates for me to input!!! :rotfl:

Just press "mark waypoint" and then you should have an option to manually enter coords. Im not sure which model I have but thats how I do it.

I think you unit has a sd card slot in a door on the bottom right. Input all your waypoints on a computer then load them on a sd card, insert the sd card and upload from your card to gps.

Awesome. Do I need to have pre-loaded maps on my computer for this to work?

Call Garmin, when I had some problems figuring out my Dakota they were very helpful over the phone. Also Look on askcaptainpaul.com. He even puts on gps seminars.
