Planning a route using coordinates
QUICK SEARCH ONLY
Important: In the interest of safety and to avoid distractions while you are driving, you should
always plan a route before you start driving.
To plan a route using a pair of coordinates, do the following:
1. Select the Main Menu button to open the Main Menu.
2. Select Search.
The search screen opens with the keyboard showing.
3. Select the type of search button to the right of the search box.
4. Select Latitude Longitude.
Tip: The example coordinates shown on the screen are your current latitude and longitude.
5. Type in your pair of coordinates. You can enter any of these coordinate types:
 Decimal values, for example:
N 51.51000 W 0.13454
51.51000 -0.13454
 Degrees, minutes and seconds, for example:
N 51°30′31″ W 0°08′34″
 GPS standard coordinates, for example:
N 51 30.525 W 0 08.569
6. As you type in the coordinates, suggestions are shown based on what you have entered. You can
continue typing or select a suggestion.
Towns and roads are shown on the left, POIs are shown on the right.
Tip: For decimal values you don't have to use a letter to indicate the latitude and longi-
tude. For locations west of the 0 meridian and locations south of the equator, use a minus
sign (-) before the coordinate.
Note: The bar below the coordinates goes red if you enter coordinates that are not recognised
by your TomTom GO BASIC.
Tip: To see more results, hide the keyboard or scroll down the results list.
Tip: You can switch between seeing the results on the map or in a list by selecting the
