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?

Hi again

Yes, I use comma as the decimal seperator.
However, I’ve just tried the below notations without luck (Save is disabled):
* 56,1168818 8,9517898
* 56,1168818.8,9517898
* N56,1168818 E8,9517898
* N56,1168818 E008,9517898

Just below the input field for the location is this sentence:
* Formats: N5101,92 W00221,90 N510155 W0022154

It seems like the only valid formats for my location is (Save is enabled):
* N5607,01 E00857,11
* N560701 E0085706
GO
