Peter and David The problem is that Tim wants to see the coordinates in - degrees:minutes.decimal minutes ie, if -30deg 30m 30 sec so I think he wants a display of -30d 30.50s as far as we can determine, that's a no-go using MB unless by a callback - I'll defer to your greater experience there to find out if that is a possibility!
