If you're looking for the coordinates for the waypoints in your planned route, the simplest option is to turn on the 'Show Position' column in the PLOG, which will give you a column containing all of the lat/longs.

Excellent, good point!

Another work around, although not very convenient, would be to identify your waypoint on Google Maps, click/tap on it to place a location pin and then read off the co-ordinates from the bottom of the screen.

SkyDemon doesn't expose them directly. You can find them by going to create a new waypoint, making it relative to an existing waypoint at 0 degrees and 0 nm, and then you'll see the coordinate, but it's a fiddly solution.

I want to extract the lat/long for route waypoints so I can put them into Garmin GNS 430. Am I missing a method to get a lat/long?  If I put a waypoint at some random point then the lay/long is shown in the properties but if waypoint snaps to a town it just shows the name when you ask for its properties.
