A waypoint is written as 52° 13' 30" N, but the planning tool expects decimal degrees. What should the pilot do?

Answer

Convert the coordinate accurately to the format the tool expects or change the tool's input format, then verify the resulting point visually.

Explanation

The same position can be written in several formats. Entering one format as another can move a waypoint by a large distance.
