I want to enter UTM coord. and have that point appear on my BaseCamp map. I read the 2010 topic on this subject and it said to go to tools then options change to UTM then select new point and add coords.  My tools has pan, zoom, select etc.  My utilities has options where I can change to UTM, but no place to enter the new point I want to go to.  Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong?

My PC is off right now and I'm using my Mac, but I think it's the same. After changing the position format to UTM go to Find > Locate Coordinates then enter the coordinates. You can also choose Edit > Create Waypoint at Coordinates and it brings up the same dialog. I believe the shortcut is Control-L.

Thanks Boyd,  My Find> drop down does not have a Locate Coordinates option.  And when I go to Edit, I do not have a Create Waypoint at Coordinates.  I wonder if I downloaded the full BaseCamp Program.  Also Control L does nothing. I appreciate your help as you can see by the # of post, I am new at this.  First Garmin and use of BaseCamp, I have used Magellan for years.

Haha, you made me fire up my Dell.  :) I didn't realize the menus were so different on the PC. The command is View > Recenter Map To or control-T in the Windows version.

Thanks Boyd, I appreciate your help.  Sorry to make you fire up your Dell.  Everything works great.  Again thanks
