I just ran this on GE and it wasn't liking the numbers for some reason, so here is the turn off the frontage road waypoint in H-M-S:
33 08 27.60N
097 03 04.12W

Hhmm, my coordinates worked ok for me. Your coordinates don't work at all. You can't have both with a "N". One needs to be "W". Just FYI, anytime you mark a different spot it will give a different gps coordinate. If you mark in the highway it gives a different gps coordinate than if you mark inside the RV park.

Oops, my bad. It should (better) work perfectly flipping polarity. I tried both of yours with GE and neither work, but I also have mine setup for DMS, not decimal since that's what all my FCC work requires. I picked the turnoff on purpose rather than the CG because I have had more problems in and around Dallas than any other place in the country with GPS navigation on the frontage roads. Lesson learned.

Doesn't your GPS let you browse the map, and mark a point on the screen (maybe in the middle). Use something like Google Maps to identify the general area, and then zoom in on the GPS.

Thanks for the help,I will have my paper maps and will look over the route before hand.. I just like the GPS to know where we are going so it can keep tabs of the time and mileage!!

Wow. With all the techno ways to navigate, don't lose site of the old fashion way.
