Coordinates format issue at PLN files

Many programs use ° ’ " as a coordinate format, but FS2020 uses * ’ " at PLN file.

Simbrief or etc: N37° 27’ 45.00",E126° 26’ 21.00",+000023.00
FS2020 pln: N37* 27’ 45.00",E126* 26’ 21.00",+000023.00

This causes problems reading the plan files each programs. When using pln file of Simbrief at FS2020, Turn on Notepad and change every coordinates format.(° → *)

I don’t know what is global standard coordinates format. But I hope All programs use same format for All Sim Pilot’s convenience and happiness. :slight_smile:

If you do not use Third party programs such as Little Navimap, it is small problem. Major Problem is third party programs can not read FS2020 generated PLN files.
N41* 24’ 52.92",E19* 43’ 14.16",126. <= It makes problem

Sometimes FS2020 can not read ° ’ " coordinates format perfectly. When it has been, We can see a Broken Flight route. (Added N0* 0’ 0",E0* 0’ 0",0)
