Under Setup/Change Units, you can change the units of Position between:
- Degrees Minutes Seconds
- Degrees Minutes
- Degrees
I wish to use the standard format of degrees with decimalised minutes (example N 51°35.30') however if choosing "Degrees Minutes" it still shows seconds in the waypoint details.
How can you enter this correctly?‌‌

Thanks, that works.  I've been deleting the spaces, but keeping too closely to the format noted in the input window of "

NddmmssWdddmmss".  I now see if I put a decimal point after the minutes it works just the same.  

So entering either N503429 W0011751 or N5034.497 W00117.862 gets you the same waypoint location.
