coordinates snapping?

I found coordinates on Google Earth that I want to find, converted the coordinates to the format I want to use, and entered them in "find a place" within BCN.  It's somewhat close (within 1000 yards or so), but it seems to be "snapping" to a nearby track that I recorded.  The coordinate that BCN goes to is NOT the coordinate that I entered. 

Any ideas as to why it's doing this and how I go about correcting it?  I've started using the USGS Topo Maps (instead of the old MyTopo.com) and it's working fine, but I can't seem to use USGS Color Aerials any more?  I thought about trying to find the location with the aerials, but that didn't work as they don't show up any more...

Help?

  Sorry for missing this question. 

  I think you want to enter your coordinates as a waypoint for now. Push the [+} button and change the coordinate to what you want, then choose center. 

  The Place search goes through Google, and I am not sure what they are doing with the coordinates.

  As of 4.3.6, we intercept coordinates in the place search and don't send them to Google Place search.
