Hi all - apologies if this has been raised before. I have been entering a load of First World War way points into skydemon - some go in fine - others are blatantly changed after I save the way point for example the Lochnagar Mine Crater at N50 00 971 E 002 41 841 - I enter it in the format that SD likes N500097 and E00241841 and save. As you can see from the screen shot - (crater 1) something totally different gets saved. I had a quick look on the map where the waypoint I and there was no crater - just a peaceful felid! Does anybody have any suggestions?!

Thanks so much in advance

Many thanks Steve - I am still having the same problem even when I copy your points and paste them in, the same incorrect different grid reference appears - I'll send you a screen shot when I have wifi. But this reference keeps on coming up : N500058 E0024150

Your point has (according to google maps) the following coordinates

50°00'55.8"N
2°41'50.8"E

You have to insert this in Skydemon as:
N500055.8
E0024150.8

Notation in degrees and decimal fractions of degrees
50.015507,
2.697448
