Not to nitpick, but I think you mean...no decimal after the DEGREES...

Hi there,

I am a Triton user, so I will try to help you.

Manual coordinate entry is a bit cumbersome with the Triton, as they are a bit picky.

Entering Coordinates

"menu" -- "create" -- "geocache" -- "coordinates"

For each coordinate you cannot backspace and adjust the coordinates, you must clear them.

(ie. if you are changing the coordinates from 44 13.787 to 44 14.787, you must clear all but the first three numbers, and completely re-enter them).

Once the numbers are entered you must switch to alpha (bottom left "abc"), and choose N/S E/W, to complete the coordinates.

Another thing to keep in mind - the Triton puts in the degree symbol and the decimal point automatically - make sure you aren't putting those in manually.

If you need a hand with anything else with the Triton, just let me know - We'll be at the breakfast this Sat - Hope we will see you there!
