    The GPS database sometimes doesn't include a small town or village, but the latitude and longitude can be obtained from Google Maps.
    These are entered after selecting "geo coordinates" after tapping "advanced."
    Entering the latitude is no problem, but I've had trouble entering the longitude, which Google Maps gives as a negative number in EasternCanada.
    Does anyone know how to enter the longitude? The manual doesn't help.
    (I know how to convert the decimal values to degrees-minutes-seconds.)
    Thank you.

    All longitudes in the Western Hemisphere are negative numbers on that scale.

    Does your menu give you a choice of E or W before entering longitude, as my liftback does? If so, enter W and a positive number, ignoring the negative sign.
