What coordinates show on your Navman? We use decimal degrees. It's possible that your Navman is set to use degrees, minutes and seconds but you should be able to change this somewhere in the unit's GPS settings.

Hi Tim,I have checked and changed the settings on my Navman to decimal degrees and to check if it worked I have used the coordinates given on it for an address and when I input these on the grid map it did not show the location I was at but somewhere in amsterdam.
I would really like to know how I can do this for future reference.
Thanks,Enrico |

What are the coordinates and where are they meant to be?

Yes of course  ,I did not find it easy to understand how to input coordinates for new locations on the website.With your help I did experiment with coordinates(all the digits and letters from the 2 lines on the satnav) for my home address and then checking on the google map to pin point exact location ,so I will try to submit new safety cameras as soon as I find one  . |
