Try N56.423468
Then E28.88224 I use co-ordinates regularly and this is the way I enter them, you do not need to enter the letters N or E normally but let me know.

Strange, you have the display set for minutes, but the coordinates are in degrees.

I just googled the coordinates as posted, Noted the location then entered them into TTN7, Never changed anything from the defaults.

"m trying to get my one xl to navigate to 56.423468,-2.888224 (coordinate i got from google maps), ive tried changing the settings to Degrees Minutes & Seconds but i keep getting an error,"

So do I; coordinates 56.423468,-2.888224, in my GO910, appear to refer to a spot in the North Sea, approximately midway between Newcastle Upon Tyne and Copenhagen.
