Just purchased the Navman ICN 520 and want to put in some of my own
POI's but it requires the latitude and longitude readings for those
places. How and where do you get that info. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

If you have Autoroute, Neville, then pick the location, and see the
longitude and latitude readings from there.

Maybe others will respond with a solution, if you do not have Autoroute.

Good luck.

What information*do* you have about each location? It may be possible to
convert it into lat/long.

Can you actually *drive* to each location, and then create a POI at each
one?

Does the ICN 520 enable you to browse the map, and create a POI at the
cursor position? If so, as long as can locate the required points on the
map, you can do it that way.

Thanks for your help. I've just tried browsing the map to where I want
to create the POI and although it won't let me create a POI it does give
me the Lat/Long info that I need under "show details".
Thanks again,
Neville

As a matter of interest, what time zone are you in? Your email address seems

to indicate somewhere in Australia, but the time stamp on your message is
7:14am on Monday 5th - which is 19 hours ahead of GMT, and seems rather
unlikely! Maybe your computer clock is 12 hours ahead of itself - and it's
actually only 7:14 pm on Sunday?

That's certainly worth knowing about, but the accuracy seems suspect. I've just
tried a few addresses near here and it gives the same lat / long for all of
them, which is the end of the street where none of the houses are to be found.

Weird! The timestamp on your message is 6:46am on 9/12/05 - which is 8 hours

ahead of your *actual* time.

It's the -8 which is wrong! He seems to have told his computer that he is in
California rather than Australia! [I fear he belives that Pacific Standard
Time applies to the Pacific coast of Australia].

But surely, Pacific Standard Time is the time zone used by the west
coast of USA - e.g. California - *not* somewhere in Australia! Thus
the 'system' thinks that you are 8 hours *behind* GMT - rather than
11 hours *ahead* as you should be!

If you're running a Windows PC, I think your time zone needs to be GMT +10
(Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney) with 'adjust for daylight saving time'
ticked - putting you 11 hours ahead of GMT during your summer. Once you have
changed the zone, you will probably need to adjust the clock to the correct
local time.

you are 100% correct. I have never taken notice of this and have since
adjusted ny time zone and time accordingly. Thanks for the education
Neville.
