+TEAM 360 Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 I just noticed that my Platinum doesn't have a built-in worldwide city database like my 315 did, either that, or I can't find it in the maze of menus...on the 315, I could get distance to Moscow, etc..(I fly to Russia every now and then)...looked for it on the Platinum and I just can't do the same...bummer.

3fros Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 It's there. All I could find by searching the database was the US cities. I looked on my world atlas and found the approximate coordinates. After making a waypoint and having the GPS let me view that waypoint, I found it and marked more accurate coordinates. Make a waypoint at 55° 44.975N 037° 42.025E and you'll be almost right on top of it. Wasn't there a thread earlier about not bringing a GPSr to Russia or they would be following you around thinking you're a spy or something? Quote Link to comment
EagleI Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 On the Map screen, zoom all the way out, then move your cursor over to Russia. Zoom in until the cities show up (200 mi scale on my MeriGreen). Locate Moscow, press (or hold down) the GOTO button, and there you are - 5739 miles from Garland, TX. Quote Link to comment
+TEAM 360 Posted May 22, 2003 Author Share Posted May 22, 2003 It was nicer to have the list onscreen to choose from, like with the 315. Very easy to access, but I guess I can do it that way, too, just takes longer. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
EagleI Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Oh, come on now. How many times do you need to put in a foreign city as a GoTo? Quote Link to comment
+TEAM 360 Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 My mistake, foreign cities ARE in there...let's see, there's Dallas, and Austin, and Houston, all located in the country of Texas... Quote Link to comment
EagleI Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 That's just another one of those free bonuses that Magellan is famous for! Quote Link to comment
