+dfx Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The easiest way is to use your GPS: Assuming you have a waypoint marked at the right location, just switch the GPS to the right coordinate format and datum (lat/long, DDD MM.mmm format and WGS84) and then look at the waypoint's coordinates.

AJkiter Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I had the same problem and I just started a new listing, and disabled/archived the other one. It worked good for me. Good luck, AJ Quote Link to comment
