Find co-ordinates

In the Travel Companion, select your destination by entering map co-ordinates. The co-ordinates need

to be entered in Latitude/Longitude format, based on the WGS84 earth model (the model used by most

GPS devices).

On accessing this screen, the co-ordinates of the current GPS position (or the selected map point,

referred to as the Cursor, if the map has been moved) are displayed.

The co-ordinates are always displayed in the format previously configured here, but you can enter the

co-ordinates in any of the three Latitude/Longitude formats (decimal degrees; degrees and decimal

minutes; or degrees, minutes and decimal seconds). You can even enter the latitude and longitude in

different formats.

To easily enter a Latitude/Longitude pair:

1. The left field contains the latitude.

2. Check the first character: an ‘N’ (North) or ‘S’ (South) letter. This specifies whether the point is in

the Northern or the Southern hemisphere.

3. Use N/S to change the hemisphere if necessary.

Use

to clear the figures not matching the desired latitude.

5. Enter numbers for the latitude.

●

Use the decimal point if the degrees, minutes, or seconds are not integers.

●

Use

, or

(the label depends on the current cursor position inside the

latitude) to start entering minutes after degrees or seconds after minutes.

6. When finished, tap the longitude on the right, and enter it as you did with the latitude. This time the

E/W hemisphere-changing icon specifies whether the point is located East or West from the

meridian crossing Greenwich, UK.

Tap

to select the latitude and longitude entered.

To change the format the coordinate is displayed here and on other screens of the Travel Companion,

tap Change Format. This leads to a new screen to change the format.
