Mapsource Co-ordinates help needed

 

Using mapsource, is there a way to find a co-ordinate designated as: 39.951985, -75.169531

rather than N00.00.00 W00.00.00

I cannot seem to find the right setting. I found how to do it in basecamp but I like using mapsource better.

TIA, Ted

drop down and tried all the options...no go...was just curious if anyone had figured out a work around or something else I might have missed. Thanks for the reply!

BTW in Basecamp you go to find>locate co-ordinates>paste into "center at">recenter. It will automatically convert to the Garmin approved Lat/Long designation for you.

Remove the comma

In Mapsource, go to EDIT > PREFERENCES > POSITION and set the grid to Lat/Lon hddd.ddddd. Then set the Datum to WGS84 or NAD 83.
Eliminate the comma between the latitude and longitude and Mapsource will find the position you indicated.

Excellent...
