Hi There,
I'm trying to create a POI for cameras that aren't in my Navman already. I think I can create one (a CSV file) and load it. But I'm not sure of the fomrat for the coordinates. I know the location in deg min secs from reading it off the NAVMAN when i pass the camera but the format people talk about seems different to this. And my POI file isn't showing me the camera once i've uploaded it.

How do i convert from deg, min, sec to the decimal format i see in other posts.

thanks
