How to edit coordinates in Garmin Mobile PC?
torowl
Hi

There is an issue when I'm trying to change my contact location by editing coordinates. Here is what I'm doing:

Tools -> "Manage My Data" -> Contacts, select a contact from the list, then tap "Change Location" -> "Other Location" -> "Edit Coordinates"

Then I just got a small keyboard on the screen, but I can not change anything.

Did I miss anything?

Figure it out. I need change the format to hdddmm.mmm'. I can not use my favorite format hddd.dddddd.

Did you try changing the format under Settings-System-Location format to your favourite first?

At the beginning, when I first installed the software, I set Settings-System-Location format to hddd.dddddd, which is my favourite format. I was expect the software will fully support this format. However, I found it only works for display (e.g. Point Information in map view), but doesn't work for input mode (e.g. Where to?-Coordinates still hdddmm.mmm' format). Later on, I was trying to change some POI location using coordinates, cause street number based mapping isn't so accurate. I got weird keyboard poped up, but can not change anything. I realize that it maybe works switching back to default hdddmm.mmm' format. When I switch back default format, then it works. Seems like it is a Garmin software bug.

Yes, I see what you mean. Time to report it to Garmin, I guess.
