Most likely explanation is inputting degrees:minutes:seconds when it expects decimal figures, or the reverse.

Unlikely that either any of the satellites are wrong or your unit needs updating.

I think the world has moved and you need to update with the galactic infrastructure police :thumb:

Hi Gunner29

Most SatNav systems work with three different ways of entering coordinates, but some only work with one, which sometimes can be changed in the settings.

I dont know which way your SatNav works but below the three most common types:

Degrees, minutes and seconds: 41° 24' 12.1674" -- 2° 10' 26.508"
Degrees and decimal minutes: 41 24.2028 -- 2 10.4418
Decimal degrees: 41.40338 -- 2.17403

All three should bring you to the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona

Hope this helps
