Bug Description

On OpenSatNav 0.9, I cannot search for a location, I can only search for a location for an itinerary, but not to "scroll" to this particular point.

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug, but I don't understand it. Can you please rephrase your bug report to be something that contains:

Thanks!

Ok, I will try :-)

In OpenSatNav, menu, there are 6 buttons (translated by me ^^) :
- itinerary
- contribute
- planning/navigator mode
- project statistics
- settings
- about

If I want to center the map on "Paris" for example, there is no way to do this (except zoom out, move and zoom in).

I would like a button "search" which centers the map on the location I am looking for.

+1 for this feature.

Here is my use case: I'm indoors at work, where there is no GPS coverage, and I want to plot a route to some destination.

I need to be able to search for the destination, and get directions there without starting navigation yet (it should start when GPS become available after I go outdoors).
