im 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, what am i doing wrong?

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.

With 9.051, Menu,Change preferences, Set units (screen 6), select 'Degrees (d.d)'.

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.

OK, thanx for the explanation.

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.
