Help recent location coordinates

[boblister]

I have the UK speed camera database installed along with CheckPoint. As I passed some speed cameras in my area which are not in the database I hit the Memorize Position rather than use CheckPoints version of memorizing a location. These are stored as recent locations. I now need to find what the Long Lat coordinates of these locations are but can't find how to do it. I have tried copying these recent locations as favourites but still can't find the coordinates of them. Any ideas?



I thought this would be more "on topic" here than the Speed Camera forum. I hope I was right.

There may be an easier way, but, in map view click 'Find...Recent Location', select the location you want, then 'Show on Map'. Then, in the 'Tools' menu select 'Go to co-ordinates...'. The Longitude and Latitude co-ordinates are shown in the relevant text boxes.

That does it. Thank's. I keep learning new things all the time. Pity it's in Deg Min Sec and not Deg and decimal mins. Still I can convert.

Back to the recent locations for speed cameras. I have just realised the resolution of the recent location is not as fine as it could be with just deg min sec. I think it brings it down to a resolution of around 30 yards at best. I think the GPS usually spits out a better value than that. Is there a better way to capture it. Is Checkpoints position captuer any better.
