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.

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.
