Hi,
GPS on a scope is a real gimick. All it is giving you is the time and the lat and long and then saving you a few keystrokes to enter it once (a minute saving once maybe?). Obviously if you have a watch you can enter the time. If you always go to the same place then having once entered this into the EQ6 you dont have to enter it again.
Sure, I have a GPS phone so if i go to a new place i get a quick fix and then type this into the mount. You should be able to do this with your USB GPS. I wouldnt bother forking out the cash for such a limited use GPS.
Even if you didnt have a GPS you could google Earth your location or the location of the observing site and get the details that way.
Cheers
Paul
