Hi could anyone help me with waypoints, I am trying to create some waypoints but when drilling down to a house or building in google maps to find it the co-ordinates given (Format) are different to those required for sky demon, so if i try to put them in when creating a waypoint it wont accept them, I must be missing something but cant work out what. I have a few waypionts saved from earlier versions of SD and the format for those 00******* the google co-ordinates dont have this 00, I have tried to put it in but this fails also?

Can anyone help please?

Nigel, Don't worry about the difference just do the following and it will work fine.

When in Google put your cursor over the location you want to use and then right click, a list will appear. Click on 'What's here'

you will then see the co-ordinates in the Google Address bar top left of screen. Just copy it (highlight>CTRL C) and then go back to skydemon.

Just right click on the chart at any location and choose ' Create user waypoint' give it a name and then paste the google co-ordinates into the 'positon line (CTRL V)

Your new waypoint will automatically position itself over your chosen location on the chart.

Hope this helps
