Way2Go Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hi,If you mean navigate to a particular co-ordinate its Navigate > Co-ordinate then type in the latitude and longitude . . . . or am I missing something?W2G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggyd Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 We got the co-ordinates off the map which we downloaded from your instructions but when we do it ! it flashes up NO USABLE LOCATION NEAR CURSER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggyd Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Well the co-ordinates took us to Lowestoft so evidently we have got part of it right so what were putting in must be wrong!! as that wasnt where we wanted to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggyd Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 WE HAVE BEEN PUTTING E INSTEAD OF WEST SO THANKS WTG. WE look as if weve cracked it IT HELPS IF YOU PUT THE RIGHT CO-ORDINATES IN IN THE FIRST PLACE. (lol) WHEN WE GO INTO GERMANY do we put in East instead of West. Thanks Again.

Way2Go Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Glad you seem to have cracked it. I recently created a load of coordinates for my customer locations and was surprised to see they all appeared in Saudi Arabia. When I swapped over the Lat and Long they all appeared in the right country . . . doh!!I have to admit I very rarely use TomTom's 'navigate to a Lat/Long' facility. If I want to go to a specific place I use a piece of free software called ITN Converter (downloadable from http://benichougps.blogspot.com)It uses Google maps but is much more useful for SatNav uses because you can design an itinerary as well then save it in TomTom's .ITN format.Its really easy to use and produces good results.I don't have time to write a manual at the moment as we're off for a long weekend . . . . in fact I think I added how to use it in one of the downloads I posted.Anywho, I'm glad you sussed it out ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
