I am using satsync 4A in my mach e. The problem is I prefer to navigate using coordinates (more accurate than post codes) - Lat and Long. I am struggling to find coordinates that work with satsync 4 A. Prior to this I have got coordinates using Google Earth pro. However this does not work in the mach e.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get usable coordinates here in the UK.

Smiffy, your question leaves me confused.

Latitude and longitude are values in one of the schemes that define location on earth. The navigation system used does not change that, so a Lat/Long returned from Google Earth pro should correspond to the same location you would plot off an Ordnance Survey (I think that's what you would use in the UK) paper map.

Is the question how to input a destination in Sync 4A using Lat/Long?

Thanks for your reply. I have tried using the three options in Satsync 4A and either I am doing it wrong (highly likely) or there is an alternative way

I think that there is a third alternative - that the navigation subsystem does not have the ability to accept Lat/Long.

Thanks Guys for your replies.
I have resorted to using a prog called Waze. This fits my requirements of hands free navigation coupled with Lat and Log input
Cheers
