On My Vu+ Duo I can input to three decimal places (not sure what box you have and if you have the same option). So your
Longtitude should be 002.926 East
Lattitude should be 058.280 North

I am no expert and I am sure somebody will correct me if I am wrong but those settings work for me.

Hope that helps

Assuming you are near Ellesmere Port then your readings should be...

Longtitude should be 02.93 West ( or - 02.93 )
Latitude should be 058.28 North ( or + 058.28 )

(..an easterly Longitude will put you out in the North Sea.)

you dont have to be super accurate to start with as the longitude will probably need fine tuning once the motor is set up.
longitude could start off at say either 003.00 West or 002.90 West and put the latitude as 53.30 North on both the STB and the motor and the latitude setting will not need moving again.
