Has anyone tried geocaching with the built in maps?
I cant get it to take more than 2 characters in the seconds field when inputting waypoint data under find, wgs84.

I got a response from wayfinder support, sadly, there is no option to enter seconds with a decimal.

Example:
N 32° 47' 11.8212"
W 96° 47' 58.1388"

That's a shame, sorry to hear that. Maybe a future release? You can only let them know you want that feature, and hope.

Are there any OS 2008 programs that can simply use the GPS chip to provide detailed latitude and longitude info?

I can't imagine this is a particularly difficult app, since most GPS phones come with such a program and it's typically very small.

This is built in. Under the Control Panel, choose "GPS Location". In the dialog that pops up, choose "Location". When the GPS finds its satellites, it'll display the coordinates on the top of the dialog, under "Location".

How many decimal places do you get with this?
