I'm using route planner app on iPhone and I just get a circle going round when I enter coordinates, wont find anything?You can type coordinates into the planner but the problem is that it selects the house that is closest to your coordinates.
When I do that the location is wildly out.On the web if you type your coordinates in decimal degrees you do not need to add the degree symbols.
Yes, that’s exactly what I wrote in my message number 2.When I do that the location is wildly out.
Oh ok, misunderstoodYes, that’s exactly what I wrote in my message number 2.
You can, but it will still usually take you to the nearest building that it knows relative to those coordinates.Oh ok, misunderstood
So you can't use coordinates in route planner?

It didn't used to do this. It has for a while. Stupid idea! Not all of us spend all of our time navigating to buildings!
I have some unfavourite things about the new route planner, but this is about my most unfavourite. For the last 10 years, the TomTom MyDrive planner accepted co-ordinates in their exact location. I used Google Maps / Street View to ensure the exact location of a place I wanted, control clicked on the place, and copy & pasted the co-ordinates into MyDrive for either a Place or a Route location. That location was locked in exactly.You can type coordinates into the planner but the problem is that it selects the house that is closest to your coordinates.
But all is not lost. If you want a close enough location for the place saved in My Places, go to the map, click where you think the place is, hit the star, and save the place with your selected place name. The location then stays in My Places where it is supposed to be.
