GPS restaurant guide
If you travel with a GPS, you can do the community a service by marking the location of a meal that you liked. Restaurant, street vendor, railway kiosk - makes no difference. Just record the site's latitude/longitude and add it to the <B>Foodieland Map</b> when you get home.

Hi Robes,
Please help me. I clicked on the link you posted and got a picture of the Atlantic Ocean (trench and all). How do I move from there to "Foodieland Map"? Your suggestion is fantastic but you are dealing with first time GPS locaters here! I don't know how to even enter the co-ordinates onto my Garmin - Patience or advice is very welcome! |
Zoom out (click the - sign on the scale at left). If you click on the bottom end of the scale, you get the entire world.
I don't speak Garmin, but I believe most GPSs have the functional equivalent of "Mark where I am right now." You can locate any spot on the planet with maps.google.com by entering the latitude/longitude, such as <B>41 43 57N 49 56 49W</B> |
My Garmin (nuvi 670) definitely has an option of entering coordinates as a location.
|
Great idea, but how the heck do I add to the map? When I typed in the coordinates I got a Google Earth view of the Budapest Food Hall but couldn't find a way to add it to Foodieland.
