Just pick any of the recent locations as your destination. Here you have no possibility
to reorder the list or filter it by name, but the Next and Previous buttons let you
browse through the complete list to find your preferred point.

5.3.3 Find Coordinates

Mio Map also lets you enter your destination by map coordinates. The coordinates
need to be in latitude/longitude format and, based on the WGS84 earth model (the
one used by most GPS devices).

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 ‘broken degrees’ format, but you can enter the
coordinates in any of the three latitude/longitude formats (broken degrees; degrees
and broken minutes; or degrees, minutes and broken seconds). 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 Mio Map 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 Mio Map whether the point is located

East or West from the meridian crossing Greenwich, UK.
