Google Navigation

I have a couple of questions concerning the Google Navigation App.

How do you set the destination as a point on a map?
The main screen allows speak or type a destination, go home, or map. Yet having accessed map, I can't long hold to set a point and using 'set destination' in the bottom-right settings takes me back to the app home screen.

I believe I've done this before so what am I missing?

Another query is that when driving along, the phone will chime and this isn't related to any other app notifications. Does anyone know what this means? Loss of data connection?

Thanks,

Thanks for the help.

I'm running the latest jelly bean 4.1.2 on a galaxy nexus with latest Google maps.

Following your instructions I can add destinations in Google maps but can't if I open the navigation app first, selecting maps on the destination screen and then trying to placemark from there. Can you?

Cheers skyfall for answering the chime query.
