You should just be able to go to "Where To" and then "Coordinates"

From memory on the coordinates input screen there should be a button for 'format'
Tapping on that will give you the options for the different formats:
d.ddddd = decimal degrees eg 52.12345
d d.dddd = degrees and decimal minutes eg 52 31.5678
d mm ss = degrees, minutes, seconds eg 52 31 42
Hope that helps?

thanks for the replies, have passed them on, just hope he gets it right as i would hate him to end up in the wrong place especially as it will be his turn to get the beers in when we meet up in Spain, if he ever gets there!!!!!!
