Hi Rastus.
I was hoping someone with knowledge would respond, but since no one has I'll take a shot. My GUESS is that you want the units to be consistent among waymarks. If you used one format and I used another, that would cause confusion among waymarkers wanting to visit.

(Now you'll really wish someone with knowledge had responded!) :rolleyes:

I was sure that I had changed these once in the profile details. Because of some problems I switched back. But now I cannot find this option anymore. So I don't know, maybe it was removed.

I see that you CAN change the format on the individual waymark page. Hmmmmmm.

Edit: MAYBE it's just that you can ENTER the coordinates in the different format, but when you save, it converts them for you to the consistent format used on Waymarking.com?

YES it IS only to enter the coordinates in a different way. After submitting the coords are automatically changed to the known format.
