[BaseCamp] getting Lat and Lon from GEP to BC

[Tim Bowman]

Joe,

Another way to cut and paste would be to use the SNIPPING tool (in Win 8) to
capture the reading, but I suspect it will be too labor intensive to strip
out the data you need.

If your bike's GPS unit won't function out of the cradle, a simpler solution
might be to carry a small and inexpensive hand-held GPS to the site and mark
the site with the GPS.  Then download those waypoints.   As for me, I would
just take my Garmin Montana or 60CSx out of their cradle and walk up to the
site, and mark the waypoint if I wanted to pin it down exactly.  Normally
I'm fine with anything within 20-30 feet (and sometimes longer), so I just
mark it with the unit still mounted on the bike.

Subject: [BaseCamp] getting Lat and Lon from GEP to BC

Hi
As I travel throughout PA, I am photographing war memorials to submit for
potential Tour Of Honor sites for future years.  Typically the memorial is
off the road and a distance from my handlebar mounted GPS device.  Once I
photograph the memorial, I also photograph the GPS screen showing me the
Lat/Lon of where I am parked (not necessarily where the memorial is  --
close but not exact).  When I get home I open Google Earth Pro, type in that
Lat/Lon from my GPS screen photo and get flown in to where I was parked.
Then I search for the memorial.

I am able to exactly pin point the memorial with GEP, as I zoom in as close
as possible.  I see the Lat and Lon read outs in the lower right hand corner
of the screen.

Is there any way to capture those Lat and Lon readings so that I can then
input them into BaseCamp using Find>Locate Coordinates?  Maybe some version
of a copy and paste method??   Currently I'm using the old school method of
holding my cursor on the memorial while in GEP, writing down the Lat and
Lon, and then going into BC and typing those coordinates in by hand so that
I can get a waypoint pin pointed on the memorial.  Most of the time I get
the numbers written down and re-typed properly, but dyslexia can put me into
another state or country very easily.  LOL

Any thoughts?
