Searching with Co-ordinates

Have you checked that both are set to the same coordinate format, I think the default is decimal degrees rather than degrees and decimal minutes.

Hi mepvic,

This question is probably better put to the help desk.

No not aware that you can enter coordinates in the search tab.

As Warren has said, needs to be in decimal degrees.

I don’t use the Desktop App which I think you’re referring to when you say on my laptop. So won’t even try on that one.

Edit: Does the App settings on your Laptop mirror the App settings on your Tablet?

Thanks to all. Have solved my problem. Forgotten that in the early years of Traveller, I put all my old campsites in as personal places. Was handy especially crossing the Nularbor to find a spot where we had previously camped. (Think we have done 16 crossings)

Have opened up the Traveler App on the web on my laptop and can find the location by editing the coordinates at the top of the screen. You can also change the coordinate format to any of five different types using Settings, General, Position display format so I don't have to convert to all decimal.

Thanks TrevorDavid. We meet again. You helped me out with an issue I had in Alice Springs last year. Was camped in the caravan park opposite you.
