Check. I’m not crazy or unusually stupid. Thanks. Sometimes you just need to figure out how and where to input.

I still wouldn’t mind being able to edit the coordinates in a pin directly, as I’m used to doing that with a Garmin GPS, but this isn’t any harder once you know where to look and how to do it.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info on the coordinate selection in preferences. That’s a big help.

I was trying to enter my coordinates in the search field. If you go to three line button in the bottom left of the map, it brings up a screen with a search field at the top. If you touch the grid diagram in the upper right it brings up a “wheel” input screen that only has two decimal places with “DMS” coordinates. At the bottom of the screen the coordinates appear to have four decimal places, but I can’t figure out how to adjust the last two.

Thanks again! Great app… now if I can figure it out!

I’m still confused about using the coordinate system that Geocaching uses within this app. I tried to manually enter coordinates for the second stage of a cache using the search function, but discovered that the system only allows two decimal spots. IE, for the coordinates N 38° 50.554 W 121° 17.003 , I was only allowed to type in 38° 50.55 N 121° 17.00 W. This seems strange and not very accurate.

In addition, it would be great if we could choose to have this same coordinate system permanently displayed on the map, instead of the other system which appears to be default and not changeable.

Lastly, it might be nice to allow us the ability to simply drop a pin where we are and then manually edit the coordinates (with the Geocaching style coordinate system) as you can edit the name of the pin.

Am I missing something already in the program? Thanks!
