I have tried to enter the details of some custom points but always find the points are not where they should be. Does anyone know how the following information should be entered correctly in the preferences menu to get the point in the correct position: N55°52.45 W003°24.08
Cheers
planes0001,

Thanks for that, I have tried it like this allready but it doesnt seem the point is in the correct location
planes 0001,
Apologies missed out the comma. It should be 55.5245,-3.2408. No need to put in the 'N' and 'W'.
Cheers,
Ian

Thanks for your help but I had already put the comma in, the point appears to far east though
EDIT
I have worked out a converter needs to be used to change this form (in minutes and seconds) to the decimal form required for the RadarBox
Thanks for your help anyway

I find that the decimal conversion of the above points are
55.879167
-3.402222
I got my position from a google map do they need converting for the RB?
Lat 52.9081
Long-0.0821

As your location id in decimal format rather than D m s you should be able to use it directly in RB.

You can have Google Earth display position information in a number of different ways - including decimal degrees. It's in the options settings if I remember correctly.
