I was flying for some SAR training last weekend and part of the training was to find a patient near some GPS coordinates. I could see the location on a topo map app but was in an area that did not have cell service so there was no way to use the map location on the Autopilot app.
I think using Target mode would have worked great. I knew there was no way to enter coordinates into the app so I didn't really use the app at all. After looking at the POI section of many of the modes, I can see it shows the coordinates when you let up after moving the icon. It would be interesting if as you are moving the icon around, it would dynamically update the coordinates or allow you to enter them manually. Not sure how this would work without any network connectivity.
Is this type of functionality on the roadmap? I know waypoints is a future feature, I would like to see a basic way to show gps coordinates while setting the POI. Seems like this would be a fairly easy thing to add and would even be helpful once waypoints is added.
