[Jubilado Tim]

I'm not sure what you mean. There is no "setting" available or required.
Which GPS format are you using. The RNS510 uses the DMS format.

Degrees 000
Minutes 00
Seconds 00.0

Thanks Welsh Gas. As I understand it co-ordinates are also frequently expressed as decimals rather than the degrees minutes seconds you refer to. The France Passion book we frequently use on our French trips only expresses the coordinates in the decimal system.
