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?

If I type "32,23" into that box SkyDemon correctly interprets it as 32N 023E. Your region settings might be different from mine so you might need to use a semicolon or something to separate the two values.

Hi Tim

You just solved this riddle - thanks a lot :-)

It works for me with ”55,9876543;-9,8765432” using comma as the decimal seperator and semicolon as the latitude/longitude seperator.

This little change of seperators is no problem at all.
