Here you go blondie :lol:
Like this:
S25º39'33.31", E27º59'51.84"
Try it, that should be near Kroon Airfield

To get the º sign, press "ALT" and hold it down while you type the numbers "167" in the keypad. When finished typing the numbers, release the "ALT" key. Comma after the first co-ords and then a space before starting the next co-ords.

the easiest way is to click the Thumbtack and enter the co-ords and then zoom in on that place. Just check the options and set the units to the ones that you would like to use.
If you click the thumtack it gives you the co-ords of where the map is at that time. Just enter your co-ords onto that then you do not have to worry about the degree etc signs
