Navigation System, Why no Coordinates They are there if you know how.

[Roldorf]

I have just tried to enter the coordinates of my saved points of interest from my previous navigations system and discovered that there is no way to enter GPS coordinates.
How stupid is that?

How stupid is what, trying to enter them or the car not having the facility ?

I had a Dacia Stepway before the MG, on the Navi you could enter coordinates, just type them in. I had lots of POI's mainly for things such as fossil locations, edible mushrooms, ruins and locations where there were other things of interest which I extracted as coordinates to transfer to the MG.
I can't understand how 'Hear' can release a navigation system that doesn't allow you to enter coordinates.
Will have to use Mapy cz on my phone to visit locations then store them on the MG as favourites.

Good job Mapy works on Android Auto.

Wait, what? The built in Nav system supports what 3 words???? ?

How do you use W3W?

OK here is the answer:-

You have to enter the coordinates in degrees minutes and seconds followed by a capital N and E.
For example:- 53 13 16N 8 22 33.1E (a point northeast of Oldenburg)

Decimal coordinates don't work and lowercase n & e also don't work.

Now I can put in all my locations from my old Navi. ???
