When you enter this page, the coordinates of the current GPS position (or the
selected map point, the Cursor, if Lock-to-Position is inactive) are shown at the top of
the display.
The coordinates are always shown in the format configured in Advanced settings
Display options (Page 57), but you can enter the coordinates in any of the three
formats. You can even enter the latitude and longitude in different formats.
Entering a latitude/longitude pair is easy. The left field contains the latitude. It starts
with an ‘N’ (North) or ‘S’ (South) letter. This tells AVIC-S2 whether the point is in the
Northern or the Southern hemisphere. Use the
button to change the
hemisphere. Enter numbers for the latitude. Use the decimal point if the degrees,
minutes or seconds are not integers. Use the
/
/
button (the label
depends on the current cursor position inside the latitude) to start entering minutes
after degrees or seconds after minutes.
When finished, tap the longitude on the right, and enter it as you did latitude. This
time the hemisphere-changing button
tells AVIC-S2 whether the point is located
East or West from the meridian crossing Greenwich, UK.
Once you have entered both numbers, press Done to make the selection.
Tip: The quickest way to tell the coordinates of a point is to select it by tapping on the
map or by using Find, and then come to this page and read the coordinates.
Tip: If you need to reformat coordinates to the format selected in AVIC-S2 (Page 57),
enter the coordinates in the format you have, press Done to show it in the map, then
come back here to see the same location in the chosen coordinate display format.
6.2.4 Find a POI
You can select your destination from the thousands of POIs included with AVIC-S2
or from the ones you have previously created. This screen helps you find the one
you are looking for. POI items are categorized to let you locate them more easily. On
this screen you can see the first page of the top level POI categories. There are
three levels altogether.
The search will be carried out around a certain reference point. Always look at the
current reference point shown in the blue field above the POI category buttons and
