Hi Stephen,

Would it be possible to allow entry of waypoints by DD MM SS.SS or DD MM.MMM rather than DD.DDDD

Cheers,

Chris

Yep, thats something I can do, just have in fact!

The waypoints are still displayed in D.DDDD format, but it will now accept them being entered in any combination of DMS. Just separate each number by a space, and don't include any other symbols (except a minus sign if necessary). The first number (including any decimals) is taken to be Degrees, the second Minutes (again with optional decimals), then Seconds etc. eg:

all equivalent:
51.675 (D.DDD)
51 40 30 (D M S)
51 40.5 (D M.MMM)

Hope it helps!
