My GPS doesnt seem to be working. Hope its OK me posting here but Ive waited so long for a clear sky since my scope arrived
Hi Claude,
potentially I see two problems.

you wouldn't normally enter a minus sign if you are also entering "South"

and 60 seconds does not compute.
That is an extra minute.

Maybe this may help

It's been a long time since I ran a CPC, so memory is a little foggy on the details.
Regards
Allan
