Basic question regarding coordinates, SynScan

[SAW]

Hi,

Normally use the gps dongle but can't at the moment so I'm not sure how exactly to enter my coordinates correctly.

My location is approximately, N 51 6 30 & W 0 52 55

In the SynScan I have longitude W 000 00 and Latitude N 00 00 so not sure what to put in ?

I use the Synscaninit android app. It gives me all the settings I need to put in to the handset, in the right order (so the date is in US format). Reduced my input errors to nearly zero ? 

So for near me in Cheltenham it is saying 002'05 W and 51'51N

Edit: and it has a polaris view with a choice of both kinds of reticule ☺

I use Ulysse Gizmos APP

APP also has a compass, which is useful when sighting tripod for viewing

Recently got the SynScan Wi-Fi adaptor, and takes guess work out of everything

Uses GPS location, date/time from my Android phone

The coordinates should be entered as 000 53 W , 51 07 N
