The sites are a little different now - just drag the dive marker flag around and where you leave it is where the GPS coordinates are. You can manually type in coordinates or a place to search, and drag from there to narrow it down.

Ok, managed to change the site by dragging the flag.
What is the format for coordinates
Thanks

I too have this problem cannot edit the locations. I tried dragging the dive flag around which is fine but the locations are not updated. So I have for instance, unknown site, unknown location, unknown country, drag the flag to Capernwray and the three unknowns are still the same. The button for the locations brings up a drop down list but my selections are only from locations already in the log I cannot enter new ones.

Also why is the window for dragging the flag around in of a fixed (and in my opinion too small) size? WOuld be nice to make this window bigger to be able to see what is going on.

I am still on the trial version.

I too can't at present edit the flag locations. They just spring back when I try to move them to their original location.
I am evaluating the software using the trial version. Could that be the source of the problem?

If you go to Sites and then View As List, it would be really great to be able to add separate columns for latitude and longitude. It would be another easier option to tweak GPS positions for dive sites.
