entering waypoints in user-selected coordinate format

It's great that I can set the coordinate display to use OSGB for use in Britain, but I cannot seem to find a way to allow waypoint coordinates to be entered in the user-selected coordinate format; it insists on lat/long.

Have I missed a control setting, or can I not use coordinate formats other than lat/long to enter waypoints?

Hi, not yet possible, sure in next future,

Thanks for the quick reply, orux.

I look forward to the next release :-)

Hi,
I had the same problem:
I'm planning to walk the south west coast path next week.
In the guide B&B locations are given in british grid reference (example SS xxx yyy)

My workaround:
- set coordinate display to OSGB (as you did already)
- show coordinates in dashboard
- set cursor to always show center of map
- activate dashboard
- zoom and scroll until the dashboard shows the coordinates you want to enter
- Add waypoint (using the shown coordinates, already converted to DMS).

Advantages: No typing, you can see where the waypoint will be located.

Maybe this will help....

Maybe some option to customize custom coordinates presentation through some script.

For an example, I need to show coordinates in ham radio QTH LOC format. It is not hard to calculate and diplay it, if I can set some script to do that.
