Co-ordinate display

[firebirdapache]

Hi all, This is my first post!! I have tried searching for the answer in the forums but have not found anything, so my apologies if this has been covered.
I want to know if it is possible for TTN6 to display the Lat/Lon co-ordinates on screen whilst navigating on route. I can see them if I browse the map, but i want to use it for Geocaching and need to know when i am exactly on the co-ordinates.

I am using TTN6 (obviously!) on my O2 XDA Orbit.

Hope someone can help!

I'm afraid you're out of luck. As you have found out they only appear on Browse Map.

Don't forget, TT is basically for Road Navigation and wasn't intended for geo-caching.

What might work, and I've never tried this, is if you put the Lat/Long you want into Browse Map | Find. Input the location and it will be shown on the screen. Mark it as a Favourite/POI.

Then if you use Find | GPS position it will show your position relative to the saved Favourite/POI. But don't forget that it's not that accurate.

Sorry. Best I can do.

I would look at adding something Memory Map for topo style maps on the PDA as this can offer current lat/ long and offer distance to go with a follow me arrow to the target - great for geocaching while the TomTom application is really for true on road usage only - Mike

You could get the Lat Long displayed by viewing the GPS Status - I believe you still get voice prompts working in this mode - but obviously no map showing. (not got my TTN6 with me at present to try it).
