Howdy, Not that I am in a hurry or anything like that, but I was playing with my Zumo 550 today (ice on the roads) and I put in the address for Zermatt Resort. It didn't come up with a match so I updated City Navigator software and all Zumo files. Still no match for their address. Can someone come up with the coordinates for Zermatt so I can enter them into my GPS before I leave. No I'm not that slow, just impatiant. Don

From a search using Google Maps, this should get you pretty close.

N 40 31.513
W111 29.369

When this happens, I usually search for the "city" only

Your numbers are pretty much spot on. The property is new enough that Google Earth shows a hole in the ground. It is however a very nice property.

Thanks a lot for the info. I worried when it didn't show up in the GPS data. It is always nice staying at new places. Do they have paved roads that far West yet. We are getting most of ours done here in Oklahoma.

You may want to consider a GS instead of an LT. :histerica

Seriously though for those of you with GS bikes there are a lot of places in the area that you enjoy riding.

...or be prepared to ride your LT like a GS.

Are you going to ride your GT like a GS? :D

Are you going to ride your GT like a GS? :DI have, unintentionally, thanks to that Australian wench that inhabits my Garmin. By the time I got off that "road" the rubber on my foot pegs was turned. I reckon they weren't built for teeth chattering, legs riding only. It's happened a couple of times and Ken has suggested swapping out the pegs for the serrated ones.
