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!

Perhaps that should be 1.46776 W.

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. |
