Ahmed Sir,
One technical question.
24.716623, 55.620491 (google maps)
N24 42.598 E55 37.138 (GPS users)In my xterra, I have Navigation system, but how to check whether it is Googel Maps or GPS.
Even my starting number starts from N25 & E55. Is it a setting issue.

0506756184First and foremost consult the user’s manual, it should specify the exact nomenclature, besides most GPS systems support multiple formats which are interchangeable.
otherwise, look at the complete format of the co-ordinates and check which one matches.
Great line up so far for a day in the sands :drive:
Have to pull out sorry. Broken Cam Shaft so Jeep still in the garage.
