Crazy as this might sound......

I had an aah haa moment last night. I hunt mostly the beach and I have drifted into the dirt again since getting the 3030 back in May. I was researching an old trail that appears aroun 1961 and is gone in 1964 or so, it runs right accross the park, looks to be like the ice cream truck park at the to ends?They both stop at the roadway and have larger dirt area's. I am using histroric aerials and I am plotting it out, in feet and drawing away and I notice the Lat. Long. button. All of it hit me at onece I can just get the lat longs and use myhand held GPS and search. This next part only took 5 seconds to come to me. Or you dummy you can use the CTX 3030's GPS instead! Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have really only turnned in on to or threee times.

You sure can dummy in points. .............You can get Lat and Long coords from a map or some other source then go to XChange2 app. After there, log in and then create a WP. Once that is done, edit the coords to the ones you acquired from the map or other source. Then name it what you want and send back to the 3030. Really simple and a very good way to narrow sites down when going into the field......HH

You can dummy in FP points as well as WPs. If you have an item/items that you would like to add to record keeping in XChange2, just scan the item in your yard hose, or whereever, then send the FP to the XChange2. You can then acquire the proper Lat/Long coords for the location where the item was found, by using XChange2 GoogleMap, GoogleEarth, or some other means. This can be done in the XChange 2. Bring up the area of the find, drag the "Create WP" icon to the spot needed, then get those coords for editing the FP. Of course the Target info won't be exactly correct, but I just make a note saying item was Home scanned, or whatever, and often add in a picture of the item. I do a lot of detecting in what are now farm fields but once had homes, fairgrounds, etc. For items I have found and either failed to record in the CTX, or for items recovered before having the CTX, this is a way to create a visual and more permanent record for those finds.............HH
