It is possible to specify two end points in the transect control. In the 
"Transect Drawing Control" window, select the tab "Shapes", and double click on 
the transect, another window popup, and select the Points tab in this window, 
and click on the lat/lon point to over write the lat/lon value.

Hope this help.
