long is usually quoted in degrees, minutes and seconds) Longditude is 8.6923 Then I am going from there to Kossen in Austria. Longditude 12 degrees 24 minutes 56 seconds Latititude 47 degrees 39minutes 13 seconds There is an option on tomtom for North and South and I do not know how to pick the correct direction either. When I try to enter 47degrees 39minutes and 13seconds it always comes up with a letter N first. I try entering 47degrees and 13 minutes successfully but I cannot enter the double apostorophe for the seconds. Is correct to say that londitude will always be East or West and latitude will always be North or South?

Latitude is N or S, longitude is E or W, correct.
When entering degrees, minutes and seconds, you dont have to type the double apostrophe at the end off seconds, the device will understand...
ALT and LONG can also be seen as decimal degrees,
as in your case N48.87329 E8.6923
The TT device understands them both, just type them in....
Sorry, typo.. ALT = LAT
