To limit confusion for new users please can the panel state the "units" for the Lat/Lon and Altitude. :-)

Could elaborate on this? I can imagine units for Altitude but what units should be displayed for Lat/Lon?

DD or DMS cordinates and is most confusing to a lot of newbies - as different software uses different ways of putting in the data. OK you can say its obvious due to the lack of North South etc of DMS type coordinates. Example Sky Charts uses DMS to input Observatory location it doesn't allow DD coordinates.

I agree its a very little thing ! Says later questions :-)
