The trade order form supports to select towns by their name, or by player name, listing matches sorted by distance.  Sadly this doesn't work for faction hubs, neither the hub name, nor the faction name.  

Of course I can bookmark relevant "send to" pages, and then erroneously click Send to Grovinton instead of Send to Mataba, resulting in a days long trip instead of one hour.  I can also pick player town Matombo Haven when I actually want faction hub Matombo, and adjust the coordinates with a mini-map navigation.

It would be much better when I can type Mataba, and get Mataba, without using the map:  Loading the map over reduced bandwidth can take minutes.   

BTW, should some faction hubs really offer "harvest" on the map?  So far this always resulted in disappointed caravans for me.

I've found the current interface a bit counter-intuitive as well. At the moment, I'm using the coordinate links to the hubs on the Transaction Log page, but it would be more logical to have a "Hub" field or dropdown list on the Orders page where you send trade missions.

I also want to add that you can't enter the destination's coordinates manually on that page, so even if you wrote them down somewhere, you still have to go the map, enter the coordinates, click on the hub, then click "Send resources", which is another roundabout way to do it.
