2. Change your Map Scale to 500m or lower
3. Copy the coordinates submitted by the user and paste it inside the Go To Position dialog box: View > Go to position or hit Ctrl-T on your keyboard.
4. Use the Map Tool (hit M on your keyboard) to identify the map tile by clicking the centre of the map. The tile number will appear under the Maps Tab.
