The Tom-Tom is currently the only "Atlas" type GPS that I have found
that you could actually enter a lat-long into. About $400

I've got a Garmin 300 and that has the option to both input coordinates and
read out present coords (as UK OS map reference). I find it an invaluable
facility which, for some reason, doesn't seem to be listed in product
specifications, and is not even detailed in the manual. Seems barmy that
Garmin doesn't make mileage of such a powerful ability.

I assume that other countries' mapping will have an equivalent facility.
