Easiest way to find your house (or anywhere!) Updated 2022

This quick and simple guide will show you how to use Google Maps Lat/Long information to set a custom departure or destination in MSFS.

I didn't figure this out myself! I got some information from Squirrel on youtube, then JamesAMD on Steam tipped me off to a comment by Guillaume201 on Youtube.

I decided to put this together so the information would be easier to find. But I take no credit for the ideas!

Super Simple Explaination

Copy and Paste the GPS coordinates you get from Google Maps into the "Search" field on the world map.

It seems to support both formats found on a Google Map page such as:
43.055231, -76.160241
Or
43°03'18.8"N 76°09'36.9"W

Paste this info in the search box and you will see a custom pin option displayed. Click on that pin and the map will zoom into your location. You can now set it as a departure or destination point for your trip.

You are done!

How to Use Google Maps

We will quickly cover how to use Google Maps to get the Lat/Long information to use in the Sim. Some of you may not be familiar with this process, but it is very easy.

Go to Google Maps and search for the address you want

Once the pin shows up on the Map, you can right click on it and select the coordinates shown. The coordinates are now copied to your clipboard.

You don't need to use a pin, you can right click anywhere and use those coordinates instead!


Go into the Sim and paste the coordinates into search (on the left under the plane)
You will see a custom waypoint option. Select that.


it will zoom into your custom location and from here you can set it as a departure or arrival point for your trip.


Hope this helps.

You can turn off cities, airports etc in the options on the flight screen. The controls should be listed at the bottom of the screen.
