What I did was to go into the green area until an image appears. The click on the little "map" 'button' on the upper left of the image. You should then get a map pretty well exactly corresponing to the image. Locate yourself on the map and click on your point, that centres the map. You can then zoom in a bit and recenter. When you have located your point definitely click on the "image" 'button' and unless you have run out of the data area you should be slap bang over your point.
