2.3.9 Destination entry using geo-coordinates
To enter a location (geo-position) using coordinates, you should tap the Geo-coordinates
button.
Degree of latitude : The degree of latitude
specifies the distance in a northerly or southerly
direction with respect to a zero point on the
earth's surface. This zero point is the equator.
Latitude is expressed in values between the zero
point and the poles (±90°). You should first select
whether the desired position is located in the
northern or southern hemisphere. To do so, you
should select either the letter N or S. The letters
N and S determine the sign preceding the coordinate (N = +, S = -, equator = 0). You should
then enter the desired degree of latitude.
Longitude : By determining the longitude, you
establish a position which is to the east or west of
a defined north-south line. This line is the zero
meridian. Longitude is measured starting from the
zero meridian as far as 180° in either an easterly
or westerly direction. To enter the degree of
longitude, select the letter E or W and then
specify the desired degree of longitude.
You have the option of specifying the degree of latitude and longitude either in degrees or as
a decimal number. The
Degrees and Dec buttons are provided at the top of the screen for
this purpose. Degrees indicates that the coordinate should be given in degrees, minutes and
seconds. When a coordinate is entered using the Dec button, a decimal number which
represents the degree of latitude or longitude is given.
Example : The coordinates for Marco-Polo-Str. 1 in Ostfildern can be entered as follows:
Entry in degrees:
N 48°43´19.4´´, O009°13`24,3´´
Note : When the degree of longitude is entered in
degrees, three digits are displayed on the
navigation device (max. 180 degrees east or
west). When entering a single-digit or two-digit
degree of longitude, please ensure that the
digit(s) is/are preceded by two or one zeros as
appropriate (e.g. 009° or 013°).
As soon as a set of complete coordinates has
been entered, these coordinates together with an
available address will be displayed. However, this information can be displayed and used as
a destination for the Navigator only if the geo-position specified is located within the map
information installed on the device.
In addition, the geo-position specified can be viewed on the map and changed manually by
moving the pin (i.e. by clicking on the map). In order to open the map view, you must first tap
the
Map button.
If the geo-coordinates which you have entered are correct, tap the Calculate button and the
route will subsequently be calculated.
