Have a look at the answer to FAQ 12
Having just checked it through on my 940, I think that think that my quote from Andy should read

The above method sounds long winded, but a) you only need to do it once & b) once you've done the 1st one, the rest are easy.
Mapsettings.cfg seems to be getting wiped out by software updates, so most of us avoid Favourites! _________________ Jock

Yes, the co-ordinates you give are for a location in the North Sea, so it's not surprising the TT doesn't like it!
1.46776 W (or it's often written as minus1.46776) gives a location in Calcutt, just east of Harrogate. |
