As Paul says:

West = 2.84711

North = 53.36716

Does it give to options of South and East in the menu?

You do not seem to need them but I would expect them to be present as Kent and East Anglia are not West but East.

Would of half suspected it to want the values as + or -.

Get your timezone correct, it is 0.

To confuse things there are two formats of Latitude and Longitude.

Oh and dont forget Synscans are in american date format mm/dd/yyyy. Easy to end up in November when you should be in April
