So we almost certainly already do what you're asking. If you can't get it working, let us know exactly what you're typing into which box and we'll get back to you. I'm testing SD for the first time on my iPad and I'm trying to create a user waypoint. Under "Create User Waypoint" / Position I've tried various formats but none has worked. One format is 59.722, 17.717 but the Save button i disabled. This format works in EasyVfr4 so it should work here too. My locale is Sweden and language English.

It works on PC Plan (Win 11), so maybe an IOS issue? I entered 51.000, -1.000 and it displayed on the map..
