what options do you get when you click on [Nav Menu] in the upper right hand corner?

 

I don't think you can click on it - it's just the title of the screen. I've been tricked by that before!

 

what do you see when you click on the settings icon?

 

Sadly, just the usual settings options - All, Navigation and Audio. No extras for searching. One thing that occurred to me - it was (haven't checked the latest version) possible to set current location as a favourite so if you can find your way there once, you can store it and find it again.

 

Well, this annoyed me as a map geek, so I just spent 15 minutes in the ‘18 XE with ICTP. Yes, it understands coordinates, though the search result may return what it thinks is the nearest address. It understands coordinates in decimal degrees, N/S first (N is positive, S is negative), a comma, then E/W (E is positive, W is negative.)

For example, I entered 42.400,-71.100 in the search box and it found an address very close to what Google Maps shows for that coordinate (in the Boston area.)

Interestingly, when I entered 42.400,71.100 (I.e. East not west) it offered somewhere in Kyrgyzstan (which is correct.) I didn’t try to navigate there...

 

Wise decision!

 

I was at Manas Air Base in Kyrgyzstan in 2011 & 2012 coming in and out of Afghanistan. They had really good beer. Or maybe just under the circumstances.
