When creating waypoint manually, longtituted and latitude entering in mode such 00.0000N and 00.0000E for example. But some sources showing coordinate in 00'00"00N and 00'00"00E.
Maybe you provide two way for this? I understand that is conversion is simply and it can made in mind, but nevertheless...

Okay, I'll add this for the next version. However, since the degrees, minutes and seconds symbols aren't so easy to enter on a phone they should be entered as spaces, for example it will accept all of the following as the equivalent value:
51.5625
51 33.75
51 33 45

Cheers,

I'm sure it will be good. But because it is not traditional input this should be show somewhere in as example, and may be add the following input string for recognition too: 50'10'20 and 50'10"20 for example. This is give traditional and convinient posibility both.
