I have a number of locations to add and also for removal (one's I have previously reported which are no longer operative).

The problem is I am not familiar with the format you require for the coordinates. I have always used Sxx xx.xxx Exx xx.xxx which is the WGS 84 method displayed in MapSource and on my Nuvi. How do I convert this format to the one you require?

[F.Viljoen]

Converter for coordinates in OP.
In Mapsource change it from Lat/Lon hddd mm. mmm to Lat/Lon hddd ddddd like below.

[Jan Horn]

Both MapSource and Basecamp accepts and automatically convert all three the formats to your preferred settings. You can input either S26 45 25.3 or S26 45.4217 or S26.76703 and end up in the same position on the map. . To convert from your format is very easy. Just divide the minutes by 60 and append to the degrees ie in the above example 25.3 divided by 60 is .4217 and 45.4217 divided by 60 is .75703 thus 26.75703
