Garmin 440s help

[Matt G]

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!!!

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.
