|
Hello to all,
A couple of times now since owning my ICN 520, people have offered up the lat/long of there house for me prior to travelling to them. My question is, how do I input the co-ordinates into my satnav? All I can see in the manual is by using POI Editor and creating an active POI. Have tried a search so if I missed something obvious then feel free to point me to where it is!
Regards,
Bob (france)

Using POIEditor is the only way.

Well, there is a sort of "hit & miss" solution as well.
Go to Main Menu - Map then zoom out, double tap the screen and the cursor will give the lat - long position. You can then move the cursor closer to the desired lat - long, zoom in, move the cursor closer, so on and so on until you have zoomed in to the address you need. Then that position can be added to Favourites.

Hi nortonbeak,
Sorry but don't think I thanked you and Tim for you advice. Been away etc, just catching up on the forum now!
