What does the expression "dar en la nariz" mean in the following context?

An investigator is trying to find information about an unknown flowering plant late into the night, and she has just matched an image with a picture of a plant in someone's garden conservatory.

Her colleague says to her: ¿Por qué me da en la nariz que sé dónde vas mañana?

If I am not mistaken this is a phrase that means, "you've hit the head on the nail" but in this case it is saying "you've it the nose right on", which means "you are dead on" with whatever was just said. Hope this helps. smile
