Right-click > Start route here - the values go directly into "Start of Route" Right-click > Finish route here - the values go directly into "Finish of Route" User confusion. if user then tries "Paste"" get an error.

doublepaste Don't know how to resolve this, just be able to paste or have a message?

Checked copy functions from Right-click > Drop Mark Right-Click on Mark > Properties
Then use "Copy" and paste to cell Then use "Copy lat/long" and select "Paste" - there are several good prompts notifying that the format is changing to dec.deg.. and it seems to work.

Have tried with Units set to: Dec.deg --> when select "Copy lat/long" and then hit "Paste", two messages converting, then "Error: Cannot process coord input for >>49.533610 <<Converted as degree<< please ensure input is in decimal and remove symbols and letters."

Dec.min --> when select "Copy lat/long" and then hit "Paste", two messages converting and it works.

Dec-Sec-Min --> when select "Copy lat/long" and then hit "Paste", two messages converting and it works.

When I do a "Copy" and then use right-click in cell windows menu "Paste" and then hit "calculate" after using copy to copy all the lat/long pairs, I get a number of conversion prompts and the values get changed to dec.degrees and the calculation is done.

Deg-Min-Sec all ok

This appears to be fixed after some tests.

I can add this info to the mouseover text. E.g.

Use paste button only if the clipboard contains a coordinate pair. Right clicking with use "Start/finish route_pi here" will directly update the coordinates.

What do you think?

Just thinking.... Some users will notice that if they Right-click and pick "Start route..." that the values are automatically entered into the Decimal Degree start lat/long. Others won't, and will think they need to then click on "Paste" This is when a message "These values have already been entered automatically by selecting "Start route..." could appear, rather than the one I got showing above.

Looking again at what you wrote: "Use paste button only if the clipboard contains a coordinate pair. Right clicking with use "Start/finish route_pi here" will directly update the coordinates."

Yes, this is better! Thanks.

Done :)

For improvement suggestions: please use github rather than flyspray.

Kind regards,
