Planning a route using coordinates

Important: In the interest of safety and to avoid distractions while you are driving, you should always plan a
route before you start driving.
To plan a route using a pair of coordinates, do the following:
1. Tap on the search bar at the top of the map, or select Search from the main menu.
The search screen opens with the keyboard showing.
2. Select the type of search button to the right of the search box.
3. Select Latitude Longitude.
Tip: The example coordinates shown on the screen are your current latitude and longitude.
4. Type in your pair of coordinates. You can enter any of these coordinate types:
▪
Decimal values, for example:
N 51.51000
51.51000 -0.13454
Tip: For decimal values you don't have to use a letter to indicate the latitude and longitude. For loca-
tions west of the 0 meridian and locations south of the equator, use a minus sign (-) before the coor-
dinate.
▪
Degrees, minutes and seconds, for example:
N 51°30'31"
▪
GPS standard coordinates, for example:
