Patience young grasshopper! It's possible that no one had seen your thread yet. This isn't a chat room and it may sometimes take hours to get a reply to a post. Folks may have been afraid their post wouldn't meet up to your high standards! (A word of friendly advice: This beginner forum is vistied mostly by really nice sorts of people who like to help new cachers out. You'll very seldom see unhelpful responses to questions in this forum).

 

I found this old thread on that topic.

 

Apparently, you can't enter coordinates to VZ Navigator, only addresses, although you can wander about trying to match up the coordinates. Personally, I'd invest in an inexpensive handheld gps.

I started this hobby with the same vz nav and i would just put it on follow me map and it gave me coords to where i was and it updates pretty quick so if you know you are in the right area it might work for you. it did have we wandering in circles the first two times i tried it but after you learn the way the nav works it gets easier or atleast it did for me oh i forgot to add to go into fallow me map then options then location info
