Hi Tim

I've just tried to reproduce the error without luck (which is great in this situation).
After I search for a location in Google Maps, I can rightclick on the marker on the map and choose "What's here" and then I will get a location in a copy-paste format‌‌.

‌So ... once again thanks‌ for a great application Smile

SkyDemon accepts most common formats for inputting waypoints, including the raw decimals separated by a comma or semicolon (depending on your locale). So we almost certainly already do what you're asking. If you can't get it working, let us know exactly what you're typing into which box and we'll get back to you.

Hi again

Even though I can see the coordinate in the bottom right of Google Earth, I still hope SkyDemon Team would implement support of coordinates in the Google Maps format.

The main reason for this is that I can use copy-paste of the coordinate from Google Maps and secondary Google Maps is a little faster to use 😃

Hi
When I create a user waypoint in SkyDemon this should be done in the DD:MM:SS format.
‌When I do a search on Google Maps and tab a position, the location is displayed in the DD.decimal format eg. (55.9876543,-9.8765432) which is equal to "N 55:59:15.6 W 009:52:35.6".
‌Would it be possible for adding support for creating user waypoints with the DD.decimal format to ease the creation of user waypoints without the need for doing a conversion on the internet or similar?

Use Google Earth instead of Google Maps. You can adjust the Lat/Long format to suit.
