In find this format works fine: 59.688218, 11.203536. This however is not working in the "New waypoint" menu. Hope that helps the diagnostic.

K Group: Forum Members Posts: 43, Visits: 0	+x Tim Dawson - 2/2/2022 12:29:24 PM 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...? 59,688218. 11,203536 59.688218, 11.203536 59,688218, 11,203536 59.688218. 11.203536

K Group: Forum Members Posts: 43, Visits: 0	+x Tim Dawson - 2/2/2022 10:49:05 AM Pasting a coordinate in the format "59.688218, 11.203536" should work fine. It just did in a test here. In the sample above you're mixing a comma as a decimal separator and also as a separator of the two coordinates, so that's always going to be confusing. My example showed that "59.688218, 11.203536" works fine, which you confirmed. My 2nd example showed that even with example presented in the APP on the right side, namely 50,966,-2,466 this does not work. Have you tested that as well?

K Group: Forum Members Posts: 43, Visits: 0	+x trettum - 2/1/2022 4:36:18 PM Any news regarding this? No one of the following Google maps fomats work in SD. 59°41'17.6"N 11°12'12.7"E 59.688218, 11.203536 Seems there may be some issues with format here. According to Skydemon manual the Nddmmss Wdddmmss format is standard. It works by adding a zero to your E 011... However with decimal degrees, not even the examples seems to work for me. Tried with combinations of , and . with no lock.
