Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

Ok I seem to be unable to insert Lat/Lon cordinates into the Smiths FMS. I may be doing it wrong and if so please point it out. I am planning a quick hop from Norway to Iceland and I figure I'll stick a reporting point and waypoint into my flight plan at N64 W10. So I get my flight all planned out and am imputting the route into the Smiths FMS when I get to the Lat/Lon cordinates. I enter N6400.0W1000.0 and hit the LSK in the route page to insert into my flight plan and I get a "not in database message." Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Mike -

Looks like the documentation for the Smiths is a little misleading. The longitude value for degrees has to be three digits instead of two. Try typing in your waypoint like this: N6400.0W10000.0 - worked on my system with that extra zero in there.

Yep that was the problem. I feel kinda stupid I didn't think of that before; of course you would need three zeros becuase you can have + or - 170 degree of longitude.
