Hi,

I would appreciate very much if SD would accept coordinates in the format that Google Maps uses. If you find an interesting waypoint in Google Maps, you can easily find it’s coordinates by clicking on the map and enter the ‘what is here’ mode. One can than immediately see the coordinates. They are displayed in this format: (50.8950139, 4.3416945)
It is easy to do a copy&paste into SD but there the format is’t recognised. The “.” has to be replaced by a “,” and the “,” by a “;”.
As SD already accepts several formats, I guess it would be that much of an issue to add this ‘GoogleMaps’ style as well.

Chris

The example does appear to be misleading. Presumable you're in a locale where a comma is used as the decimal separator?

I'm still not getting it to work. As you can see the OK button is greyed out. I have tried all 4 combinations, neither with any success. Does it mean that unless I setup Windows to UK number format, it wont work. I assume this is the issue others have as well, or am I missing something here...?
