I'm really interested in using MapThis! for my PSP, but I was wondering if it does any Coordinate Translation to WGS 84 (NAD 83).
As well as a in-car navigator, I would like to use MapThis! as my GPS receiver for Geo Caching (http://www.geocaching.com/). However the Geocaching co-ordinates are stored in WGS 84 (or NAD 83) format (e.g. N 52° 14.026 W 001° 01.756). Although Jeeep.com (http://www.jeeep.com/details/coord/) have translation, it would be easier (as I just print out the details) to have the same coordinate style on the PSP.
Does MapThis! allow entry of a given coordinate 'on the go', or do you have to set it up before you leave the house? Also, does MapThis! display bearing and distance information?
I've searched the site, but no-one seems to have asked this question, apologies if they have.
thanks for any help,
