With the GPS we have (Tom Tom) you can type in a full address (which for
Carol is Glebe Cottage Plants, Pixie Lane, Warkleigh, Umberleigh, Devon,
EX37 9DH 01769 540554) or just a post code, or just a town name. In the
case
of CK's nursery, there are no signs to it at all and as it's only an acre
overall with the garden, it's not some large mass that you see from afar.
AND it's along a track across a field somewhere in a small hamlet, AFAIR,
so
some research on location is a good idea!

On my GPS, a Garmin 12XL, I have to give the longitude and latitude.

or an OS coordinate.

But you didn't say that, originally. ;-)

If I get it right, it will guide to me within +/-5 metres of the
location.

That's on a boat, right? ;-)

It's not particular where it is. At the moment it is at home in a
cupboard.

No travel plans, then? Nonetheless, the one we have, which is designed for
a car, operates as I described earlier.

I know we get a lot of rain in England
but.....

... never rains but it pours?

No, no. We can get the odd mild drizzle. Round here that can last for 6
months - or feel as if it does. Right now, it's so dry that I'm reminded of
some Jersey February droughts, in March!
