When you enter the company route (or manually put in from/to), the IRS initial coordinates are automatically reset to the Airport Reference Point, which is a small distance away from the actual gate location.

In this case the recommended practice is to change the coordinates to the gate location using the slew keys (up/down) -- since the amount of change will be small -- instead of manually entering the full coordinates like the Captain did in this instance.
