latitude/longitude problem

[brosil]

I use a TomTom xl mostly for work. It works well if I input an address and the favorites work well. I have recently had to try to input Latitude/Longitude to find a service site. I've input these co-ordinates every way I can think of and it always puts me about 50 miles from where the site is. I don't know why. Any ideas?

There are three different methods to express Lat/ Long:

D.D (Decimal Degrees)
D.M.M (Degrees Decimal Minutes)
D.M.S. (Degrees Minutes Seconds)

Make sure the device is set to the same format as the one you are using otherwise the true location is probably going to be wrong - Mike
