When entering coordinates into any field labeled GPS Location, Mission Manager understands many different formats. These formats include Decimal Latitude / Longitude, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), US National Grid (USNG), Degrees/Minutes/Seconds, or Degrees Decimal Minutes or NSARC (National Search And Rescue Committee) Latitude / Longitude format. Mission Manager will display GPS coordinates on Mission Screens in the format selected in the Configuration setting Mapping Coordinate Display.

Note that when typing a Degrees/Minutes/Seconds or Degrees Decimal Minutes coordinate - °, d or D are equivalent characters.

The following are some sample coordinates that can be entered into any field that refer to a GPS location, as well as the Find box on the maps page:
