+kunarion Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) Can the new waypoint entry fields be made friendlier? (Android App). I copied my coordinates from some source, switched to the App, and wish to paste the coordinates: N 33° 19.876 W 084° 25.009 So now what? If I next go to the new Waypoint entry form, it's partially filled out already with the "Minutes" North and South. It's awaiting the entry of "Seconds". If I paste my coords here, it becomes this: If I instead paste it in the Minutes, it becomes "33" in this example. I don't see a way to use coordinates as easily as I can on several places on the web site. Is it the intended process that I memorize the coords (or write them down), and hand-type the seconds into the proper place? Because that also needs some love. If I type the seconds, that is two digits, followed by the decimal seconds. And the "." decimal dot that was previously on screen has vanished in the process! Now I have to find the spot to place the dot, and edit my entry. And repeat the process for longitude. I started with exactly the coordinates I wanted, copied them to the clipboard, and next I was presented with a clumsy manual re-typing process that's prone to error. Make a place where I can paste the coordinates! Or display the clipboard coordinates along with "Current" and "Posted" coordinates, and allow me to fill the form with a tap.
