Garmin Navigator V
 

I have a problem with my Garmin Navigator V. I have the New Zealand/Australia map loaded, that works good. Now I also loaded the South America map. They are both original Garmin maps. If I search an address in south america it works well. As far as I can tell from here. The problem is when I try to enter Coordinates. I tried to enter a few GPS points I got out of reports of other travellers. What happens there is it lets me enter the N or S coordinates but on the W or E number I can only enter a number that starts with a 1. I think all the places in New Zealand start with a 1 on the E coordinates.

Now, it could be, that it will let me enter other numbers as soon as I will be in South america, but I can not be sure.

Can anybody give me advise?

Can you put it in off-line/indoors trip planning mode and first scroll to S America on maximum zoom out and then try inputting start of a trip as a coordinate.

Have you enabled both sets of maps

Try disabling the NZ map .. and then enter your SA coords?

Thanks for all the tips, but it was not any of that.

The problem is, and this is a bit embarrassing for me, you can change the 1 on the Navigator V only to a 0. If you do that the next numbers can be any.

It is very logical if I think of it now, but it took me a long time to figure it out.

Thanks for all the help.
