I always find searching using M9 is a pain in you know where. Lots of places cannot be found but it can be easily found using google map.
Anyone knows what is the best way for me to input search obtained from google map and transfer the coordinates and input to M9 ?
First for the google map mobile, I don't seem to be able to find the GPS coordinate of the place.
On the PC, the google map there is a "where's here" which tells you your coordinate. Can't find that in google map for mobile.
Next if the coordinates are obtained, is there a convenient 'cut and paste' to input to M9 ?
I am not sure if this has been mentioned by any posters but I found that it is possible to use google map in a browser, and obtain the GPS coordinates.
When using google map in a mobile phone browser such as Chrome, then the same functionality of obtaining GPS coordianates in PC can be used in mobile. Just visit maps.google.com and one could search, zoom, and so on, and finally press and hold until the "where's here" appear on the screen. The GPS coordinates will then appear in the textbox n in the browser.
Now the Google side of the issues are all solved, the limitation is actually Papago.
There is no way to cut and paste the coordinates into Papago. One has to enter the coordinates using Papago provided keypad. Another example of why I said Papago's GUI is VERY primitive.
