enter lat & long as address Roadmate 700

Some of the destinations our company goes to are not on the map.
How can I enter the known Latitude and Longitude as an address?

Went to magellan, haven't a clue on their answer.

You need RM 700 software upgrade version 5 (available at
http://www.magellangps.com/products/mrm_software_v5.asp).

This upgrade contains a POI Manager tool that runs on a PC (no Mac support).
With the POI Manager you can create or import POIs and then transfer them to
your RM 700.

You also need a 110V AC adapter and a USB adapter, which may or may not have
come with your RM unit.

I know of no way to directly enter lat/long data into the RM 700.

Hope this helps,

Jerry

Can't you simply create a waypoint and then edit the coordinates to
place it somewhere else? If not, I never ceased to be amazed at the
stuff they are leaving off of the newer GPS receivers.

There is no way to enter or edit coordinates except via the POI Manager.

The only way to try to enter a desired lat/long is to take the RM 700 to the
desired coordinates and then store the "current location". If the RM 700
doesn't have that location in its map DB, even this won't work - the unit
changes the coordinates to the nearest location it can find in its map DB.


I guess that's why they call it the ROADmate - if you ain't on their roads,
it ain't your mate :-)

Even if you enter coordinates, the RoadMate 700 will simply take to the
nearest spot on a navigable road. It will not lead you to off-road
locations. The best it can do is to take you to a spot you select on the
map. If you look at the placement of the included POIs, they are all along
the shoulders of the road. It does not matter how large the parking lot is.
