How to enter coordinates for a waypoint and POI
What plan do I need to be able to enter/modify coordinates of waypoints and POIs? Since there is no trial I don't want to pay for the wrong plan.

I found the hidden "JIM" mode. Now I can see the coordinates for waypoints and POIs. Will this be incorporated into the expert mode? I'm concerned if I start to reply on it it may disappear at some point since it is a beta function.
Is this coordinate function a standard part of the business plans?
Jim mode does not mean beta - it just means “really advanced settings that most users never need to see”.
Thank you for your reply. I've tried it out. It works well for the most part, but the page becomes unresponsive quite a bit using Chrome ... any insight?

If you don’t enter both coordinates in fast enough (for example if you are just manually typing in one of the pair - not copy and pasting), then the system will recalculate the mission as going to/from wherever that intermediate coordinate is, which can be very far away sometimes (causing a really long mission). There is a long-standing feature request to make direct coordinate input better, but since work has not been completed (and is not currently prioritized), we move these into Jim mode because you really have to know what you are doing and be quick on the keys to use it correctly.
Got it, thanks. I copy and paste, but I must've not tabbed out of the entry box quick enough. I capture the coordinates on my initial site inspection.
The other option is to just import a KML file.
Thanks - I'll give that a try as well
