Search and Locate
Overview
Use Search and Locate when you want OMN4 to move the map to a known place or a known set of coordinates.
There are two main ways to do that:
- use Search for place names, roads, postcodes, and other indexed places
- use Goto Grid Reference for grid references, latitude/longitude, and UTM coordinates
In This Section
- Search Places explains the offline place-search screen.
- Search Filters covers the filter panel that appears after a search.
- Grid References explains British National Grid entry in Go to Grid Reference.
- Latitude, Longitude, and UTM covers direct coordinate entry in other formats.
Good To Know
- Place search needs downloaded place data on the device before it can work offline.
- Download Place Data is separate from downloading maps for offline use.
- Grid references and coordinates can still be used when place data is not installed.
- Choosing a search result or using Go normally moves the map straight to that location.
