Difficulty finding a specific location in route via lat/lon input into navi window.

[niknak]

Hi guys. I'm slowly getting to grips with TSRE5 (version 0.698) and enjoying placing various static objects on routes. But when I note a specific lat/lon position on the route via the compass window and then enter those coordinates into the TSRE navi window and hit the jump key, I end up a considerable distance away from my intended location. It's probably something simple I'm doing wrong, so would appreciate any input please.

Hi niknak,

Your not doing anything wrong. The coordinates given by the compass window, tsre5, and the track viewer as well are all different.

Many thanks Fred. I'll keep swooping around with the cursor until I eventually come across my intended destination.

If its a known location, set a marker at that lat/long in Google Earth first. Then simply save the kml and load it into TSRE. You can easily jump between markers in TSRE.

Thanks Joe. Will try that.

I've since found that adding approx 100 to the ingame compass latitude reading and subtracting approx 150 from the longitude and then inputting those figures into the navi window gets me near enough to work with. eg: a lat fig of 48.0785 up to 48.0883 and lon -82.1266 down to -82.1113.
