Hello,

When i try to add a new location in location manager it is asking for Latitude and Longtitude.

In past i used this website: https://www.latlong.net/degrees-minutes-seconds-to-decimal-degrees

When i go there to fill in  53°25'26.29"N  7°56'26.51"W and i look this up in google earth it brings me to a place in Germany.

How can i get the correct info for this to fill in Location Manager? I try to use the city of Athlone to be the center of Ireland.

Using degrees decimal, West (and South) needs a leading minus.

See attached.  Is this where you want the new location?
