which device allows input of coordinates

Hi,
I am kinda new to GPS, so I thought someone might help me. I have a Garmin
260 which I bought a couple of years ago. It is obsolete and the screen is
cracked but it still functions.

The 260 Nuvu allows the imput of coordinates and I am searching for another
low price Garmin (less than 200 dollars) that allows for the input of
coordinates.

Sometimes, the address is simply wrong using the maps in my 260 so I go use
Google Earth to input my destination coordinates. It is critical that I
find the correct address because I will be bidding on the properties
associated with the coordinates.

If anyone will help me, please reply,
Sincerely,
Larry Kizziah

Even my almost bottom of the range 200w can do that so I assume that they
all do. Maybe it might be best for you to look at what else you require
from a satnav and then see if anyone here can confirm if the model(s) you
migt like can do it.

Hi Dave....my only requirements is to input the coordinates while sitting at

I have discovered my maps are old in my garmin 260 and there are new
addresses's not listed in my 260 but the coordinates will pinpoint the
desired location.

Again, the reason I need precise address for properties is because I will be
engaged in a bidding process for certain properties that I deem to desire if
I am the highest bidder. Therefore, the address of the property; ie the
actual property is critical. Google Earth is fairly reliable and is free
and gives the coordinates.........so I take advantage of the free stuff.

In my neck of the woods, I do not live in a municipality which covers the
mandated fees for fire protection. Property owners who fail to pay their
fire protection fees are subject to a lien on their property. This lien is
necessary as an incentive for everyone to pay their fire dues otherwise the
entire fire department would not have enough revenue to succeed. Therefore
the State of Alabama enacted Act 79 for the establishment of fire protection
districts which is a corporation and enabled to establish rates for fire
dues subject to the objection of the residents via legal action.

When the liens remain unpaid, the properties are advertised 4 times in the
local newspaper and if the dues are not paid prior to the auction date the
properties are sold for the fire dues owed plus the overbid from the
individuals competing to purchase the property. From the highest bid, the
past due amount is used to satisfy deliquent fire dues owed the fire
district, and the fire district holds the overbid in a trust account pending
redemption from the defaulting owner. That owner has 2 years to redeem (pay
the highest bidder the bid price plus 12 percent per annum interest)
otherwise they loose their right of redemption. If I am the highest bidder
at the auction, I receive a deed (quitclaim) to the property which is
essentially a "cloud on the title".

If I am searching for properties to bid at auction, it is essential that I
locate the actual property; there is no assistance in locating the property
except the legal description (not benefical unless I am a land surveyor) and
the physical address listed in Notice for Sale published in the legal
notices of the local newspaper.

If the property owner not desire to redeem, perphaps they are underwater on
the mortgage, I locate the mortgage and inform them I have a deed on the
property which is SUPERIOR to their lien and they will pay me the redemption
fee and charge it back to the escrow of the owner. I have just described
the mechanism for which fire districts are established and the remedy to
collect deliquent fire dues so that others in the neighborhood do not face
higher annual fire dues payments because of the non payers. This is not a

That's better than what happened recently in a rural community near
Santa Cruz, CA.

The firefighters did not fight the fire of the delinquent homeowner...

It was unclear to me from the way the news was reported whether he was
delinquent intentionally or was a bit inattentive. Either way, his home
was irrevocably gone.
