Ron - Many cell phones today have a GPS feature that can give you coordinates,that is if where you are going can get a signal from a tower. But, I would borrow one if you know of someone who has one especially if you aren't going to need to reuse it often. Also, you can go to various Satelitte websites to look up an address or area of interest and if you can locate the property, you can record the GPS cooridnates for that area from the image page. Also, I know that the Garman brand is a good one, as my Avionics Tech Rep told me that the Engineer who created his company used to work for them when they were King Radio Corp. who produced Radio & Navigation Systems for the Military & Civillian market, and this Engineer tried to get them to produce low end units for the public and they said,"NO"; so he went off and started the Garman (sp?) Company and they make great Civilian GPS Units as well as other equipment. Happy Searching, James A.
