Hey everything, I've just registered, and this is my first post.
I've borrowed a satmap from a friend of a friend to use this weekend, I've never used a GPS before, except on my phone.
Anyways i'm a little stuck, i'm not entirely sure how to input the co-ordinates into it?

I've been given the following co-ordinates for a bothy in the yorkshire moors -

54 22'07.73'' N 0 48'18. 64 W


But when i want to input co-ordinates into the satmap i get this screen

Am i suppose to change the format of the coords? Sorry for such a silly question, i'm very new to this, and really should of payed a little more attention in school!

Thank you in advance

Looks like the Satmap is set for OS input cords.

To change it to Degrees,Minutes, Seconds Decimal go to:

Settings / GPS Setting / Position Display Format

Those co-ordinates look like the former Pinkney's shooting hut.

Before you walk too far, this link says the landlord was going to knock it down.

I haven't been past recently, so I cannot say. But I cannot see it listed on the website of the Mountain Bothies Association.
