Lat/Long Seach doesn't

If I open the search tool and enter a Latitude and Longitude and view and click on "Go', nothing happens. If I enter a Placename and click on "Go', that placename will be zoomed into. What is the process for going to a specific Latitude and Longitude? I am running version 1.2c.
Thanks
Bill

There is none as of right now. However Chris is working on this probably as we speak, so look for it in a new version. From my knowledge this will simply be an extenstion of the search tool (anotherwords it will probably work just as you expected it to in later versions.)

You can, actually, but I found that it doesn't work as one would expect. If you open up the "Place Finder" and enter in the Latitude, Longitude, and View, then hit "Go," nothing happens. However, if you search for another area (any area), click on it and press "Go," WorldWind will automatically hover over that area (as is expected). If you then try to enter your own Longitude, Latitude, and View, and click "Go," it'll go to the area you specified.

In short, the search function appears to be buggy. You can only enter your own data after first going to another area in the "Place Finder". At least that's how it is for me...
