Setting NAV Destination "By Coordinates"

[wchettel]

Hi Folks,

I've got a 3 month old 2013 Genesis R-Spec.

I can NOT set NAV destination by "COORDINATES". I am trying to set these coords as my destination: 26°08'47.51" N, 80°37'14.18" W.

The 1st part (26°) works fine, but I CAN"T input 08'. The display only shows a single digit, but it seems like I must input 2 digits to get to the next field. The last field (__") inputs ok , but it seems like more input is needed but none is accepted.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a flaw in the "COORDINATE" input??

Thanks.

Not quite. The middle of the Everglades is closer to 26°19'10.29" N, 80°59'33.00" W.

But, what difference does it make if I can't input "by COORDINATES" into the NAV system? There are a LOT of places that I'd like to drive to but they have no address other than the geo coords to locate them.

Look up the address of the town hall, or library, of the city you are driving to. A smartphone makes that very easy these days.

Try coverting to decimal equivalent:
LAT - 26.1465306
LON - -080.6206056 (Note the minus sign for west longitudes.
