Wikipedia gives three formats for Lat & long:

degrees minutes seconds: 40° 26′ 46″ N 79° 58′ 56″ W
degrees decimal minutes: 40° 26.767′ N 79° 58.933′ W
decimal degrees: 40.446° N 79.982° W

Which of these is the Sky Demon format, which seems unlike any of these:

7.2 nm SW Leiston
N520737 E0012604 (W0.2°)

It's not the first, because I tried plugging that into my Garmin 430 (which uses degrees minutes seconds) and it was wrong.

SkyDemon supports entry in all common formats, and you can control the format in which it expresses coordinates by setting one of two values in the unit configuration screen.
