Navigation does accept lat/long ... [solved]

[dtbaker61]

I sometimes have to find rural construction sites, camps, or trailheads that do not have a street address... only data I get is a lat/long sometimes. My phone map accepts lat/long right in the search bar, but the Mach-e Nav makes it a little hard to figure out since you have to change the type of search first.

credit goes to SnBGC for taking time to figure it out:

In Nav...
- touch "Where To?" >"Search Tools">"Coordinates"
- enter lat/long
Click green Accept button.
Then you can find it later under Recents and name it if you like.

AWESOME
I didn't spend enuf time poking around, and just used my phone. This will certainly help in the future. I think I'll edit the OP since you've solved it!

My 2014 Fusion’s nav system (Powered by Microsoft) had a similar feature. It could not find the street address of a place where I was, but I could pinpoint my current location and name it.

Yes. I do the same for public charging spots that I might need to find again. I program them into the nav so I can pull them up later if I ever have the need. Or if my wife or kids are using the car it will be there for them to find. Haven't had to use it yet but someday maybe?
