Navigating to GPS co-ordinates, how?

russgunn

Is it possible to locate a position in TTN2 using the 'go to co-ordinates' option and then navigate to it? All I can make it do is find the location but then navigating to it is not an option. The only way to do it I find is to then move and zoom within map mode to find it manually and then set it as a destination, which is a pain.

TTN ought to scroll the map to the position, and put the 'hot cross bun' over it. You can then click and hold the bun, and select 'Set as Destination' from the menu

It does do the first part of what you say TonyP, but it won't let me click and hold. No options appear when I do this.

Did you dismiss the Lat/Long box with OK?

It will scroll the map when you type the coords, and when you click OK, it should leave the hot cross bun on the location you entered. Then you can click and hold it.

If the bun isnt on a road, you should choose a point on a nearby road as destination.

If you have the GPS connected, with the 'Keep GPS position on screen" option, it will keep trying to pan back to the current position when you OK the coords box. Maybe that's the problem.

Thanks TonyP, I've just realised that's exactly what I didn't do...I failed to press the OK tab and just thought I could click and hold on the very co-ordinates entry screen. Sorted now, cheers.
