The location entered here is the one used as the basis for any "Here and Now" transits charts that are created, as well as the default location for various other types of charts, and generally you would enter your home location details.
1.Entering the Ctry/State and Place is the same here as it is when creating or editing a chart - just type in the fields, and if it can find that Location in the Atlas Astro Gold will automatically update the Latitude and Longitude.
2.You can also click on the 
icon at the right of either field which opens the "Select Atlas Entry" dialog box. In this dialog you can select a country/state or place off a list, or alternatively search for what you want, by typing a full or partial country name into the Search field, for example "Aust" would jump to Australia, Austria etc. See here for details and illustrations on how to do this.
3.Once you have entered the location click on Save As Default to be able to use this location everywhere a chart defaults to Home.
