This problem seems to have started after the recent update.

Scenario
Starting with an unmodified parking spot, the Lat and Lon boxes under "Pushback direction" are blank

Selecting "Customize vehicle locations" and using the F1 and F4 keys to cycle through and position the different vehicles
--One of the items in the sequence is "Cust. Pushback 1" or 2.
--Continue cycling to next item without making ANY changes to "Cust. Pushback 1" or 2

When finished modifying vehicles by selecting "Y" and returning to the GSX Customization window there are now
numbers in the Lat and Lon boxes even though NO changes were made to the Cust. Pushback items

Example - Modifying Gate 3 at PHKO

After customizing vehicle location the boxes under "Pushback direction" are:
   Nose Right/Tail Left (LEFT)      19.7371146294   -156.041954332   94.0   SNAP TO AFCAD - ON
   Nose Left/Tail Right (RIGHT)   19.737047213   -156.041867416   -264.701409027   SNAP TO AFCAD - ON
   
   NOTE: Using the Map function, I repositioned the aircraft to the coordinates listed and both LEFT and RIGHT position are well
   forward to the aircraft's normal nose position. In other words if those are the end spots for the pushback you would actually
   be doing a PULLFORWARD
   
If I then execute a pushback, selecting Nose Right/Tail Left (LEFT) I get the following error (similiar error occurs if I select
Nose Left/Tail Right (RIGHT)):

To eliminate the error and get pushbacks to work normally:
--the Lat and Lon boxes need to be cleared of any numbers
OR
--customize the "Cust. Pushback 1" or 2 items so the stop position is actually a point aft of where the aircraft starts.

I have tested this at several airports (PHNL, PHOG, KSFO, KLAX, etc.) and results are the same

FYI, doesn't seem to matter if your using customize or default push-back. Many of us are getting the same error message at different locations.

I have found that when you change vehicle locations you ALSO need to change the pushback locations, otherwise the pushback crashes.  It doesn't matter if you change custom pushback while you cycle through vehicles or if you use the new quick edit pushback, they both seem to work.

Changing vehicle locations without editing pushback locations results in an error (since the last 2-3 updates).

Yes, we are aware of this problem, at this time, you *must* set a pushback point, otherwise it will default to use the center of the parking, causing the error (since it's an impossible route). It's an editor issue, which will be fixed soon.
