I am trying to create a user waypoint in SD with location data captured from google earth with no success whatsoever.
In Google earth:
Tools-->options-->show lat/long = UTM
Create a pushpin at the required waypoint location then right-click on pushpin and select properties to display the position data.
Could someone please advise how to match this data with that required by the Skydemon "Create Waypoint" dialog particulary in that GE shows Northing and Eastings and SD requires what appears to be Northing and Westing!
Many thanks in advance.

Oh dear, no sooner had I posted the above when I realised the error of my ways!
Here's what I should have done:
In Google earth:
Tools-->options-->show lat/long = Degress, Minutes, Seconds
Create a pushpin at the required waypoint location then right-click on pushpin and select properties to display the position data.
For Stoke City ground this is:-
52°59'18.04"N
2°10'31.58"W
Convert the above to following format:-
Nddmmss.decimal
Wdddmmss.decimal
In SD Create waypoint dialog enter
Position: N525918.04 W0021031.58
Hope this helps other soles that were as lost as me!

Hi nje,
Many thanks for advice.
Have just tried that and it worked a treat.
With the two methods I can now create a user waypoint from either Google Earth or Google Maps.
Great stuff.
