If your GO Camper is one on the latest NAV4/5 (Wi-Fi) devices, that use MyPlaces and the MyDrive Web Route planner
See the MDW Route planner... https://mydrive.tomtom.com
Firstly... On the device Convert your Marked locations to MyPlaces
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> MyPlaces --> Marked locations... Tap on the Marked location & follow the on-screen instructions... edit or accept the offered name
Repeat for the other Marked places
Open the MDW Route planner & login with Email & Password
Your new MyPlaces will sync to the MDW Route planner
Go to your MyPlaces list
Click on the required MyPlace... The Map will Zoom in with your MyPlace centred on the screen
The the https:// link contains the Coordinates
Note... If the newly synced Myplaces are no longer requires delete using the Tiny Trash Can Icon
Note... Ignore the .16 at the end if refers to the present Zoom level of the MDW Route planner screen
Tip... You can Copy & Paste the MDW Coordinates (Not the whole https:// link) to Google Maps

You cannot find out the Co-ords of the favourites or positions on the map using the GO Camper. The only position you can get the figures for are those for the GO Camper where its is when it is on. They are the 3 sample formats you see when you select Long/Lat.

Coordinates.....
Tap on the four dot Icon (....) (Bottom left screen)
Tap Search Icon
Tap (Top right on screen) Tap Whole map Note…… On some units (I think) it says Installed Maps
Scroll down
Tap Latitude Longitude Icon
By the way... When the device has a "GPS Satellite lock"
The Latitude and Longitude shown on the screen as an example is....
Live for your location
When inputting coordinates using DMS format, you can't enter seconds as a decimal point
Example N 50° 31' 10.62'' W 4° 1' 55.95''
But If you simply round up or down the second's entry in the example
I.e... The North decimal point to 11" and the West decimal point to 56"
It gives B3212 Sampford Spiney UK
If you tap the offered Sampford Spiney UK
The Map will open at the location
Tap the blue "Drive Steering Wheel" icon to drive there
Or
Tap the 3Dot Icon and the Quick Menu will open with more options ie...
"Add to MyPlaces"
"Use as a starting Point"
"Search Near Here"
Note... If you already have a route planned and want to add a coordinate location to the route, the 3Dot Icon Quick Menu will have an extra option...
"Add to Route"
_________________________________________________________________
Also.....
Example inputting coordinates using GPS format, for example, If you enter N 52 23.488 W 2 12.501 it's a field in Worcestershire UK
In the text, the New GO range will display the coordinate location and underneath, offer the nearest road location as a destination, in this case, an (Unnamed location) Hurcott UK
Or
Tap the 3Dot Quick menu for more options... See the above "Sampford Spinney" example for more info
(2)... Tapping the Globe coordinate Icon only zooms the map into the Globe Icon (Tapping the Globe Icon on the Map does nothing)... Pinch zoom the map down until the Black Pennant Icon is in view... Go to bullet point (1)...
If you Tap the dual function Icon (3Lines & 2Circles
You can toggle between a Map and List view or tap the Keyboard Icon to return to the Coordinates menu screen
If you pinch-zoom the map screen, it will show the coordinate location on the Map
The GO will give you the coordinate location and will show it on the map, but can only plan a route to the nearest road access point

Thank you. I had never noticed that MyDrive on the PC will show me the Co-ords as you have shown above.

When you click on a MyPlace in the list... The Map screen auto Zooms & Auto Centres
I you want a Near as dammit Coordinate... For say a 'Stop' or a Point on the Map
Have the MDW Route planner full screen
Zoom the Map in to the require detail (Recommend Zoom level 16 (18 is Max Zoom)
Left click on the Location and drag the location near as dammit to the Screen centre
The the https:// link contains the Coordinates
Note... Ignore the .16 at the end if refers to the present Zoom level of the MDW Route planner screen
Tip... You can Copy & Paste the MDW Coordinates (Not the whole https:// link) to Google Maps for more info
