#21 MM and SS disappear in maps.txt!

[Anonymous]

When importing a new map I set center latitude and
longitude using the format : HH<space>MM<space>SS

When I next start qpeGPS I want to check these values
are ok in the map info/properties window. The longitude
and latitude coordinates appear ok using the
HH<degree> M.SSS'N display format, *but* if I close
with window with OK the maps.txt file gets updated with
new coordinates that only have HH. I.e. minutes and
seconds disappear!!

It seems when you close the properties window with OK
then the longitude and latitude strings get parsed again,
even if they haven't changed. Since these strings are
now in the HH<degree> M.SSS'N display format, only
the hours are being read. Maybe.

Very annoying when you check longitude and latitude in
the middle of a long hike and the values suddenly
change!

I found the same behaviour. A workaround when you want to
check the coordinates is don't use OK to close the properties
window if you are only checking the coordinates. If they are
ok already use the x button to close.
