Latitude and longitude

It'd be good if we could change the display format of a Lat/Long position. IE Degrees and decimal minutes. I'm assuming most if not all mariners operate in DDM instead a decimal of a degree.

Windy displays location coordinates only in DMS.
But you can enter coordinates in 3 different formats in the search boxDMS format (e.g 36°59'21.2"N 84°13'53.3"W)
DDM format (e.g 36 59.35333, -84 13.888333)
DD format (e.g 36.989213,-84.231474)So you can display your precise position in DDM format on Windy maps.
Or just use the GPS positoning if your device is equipped with it.
And I think that DMS is suitable for estimating the location of a strong-wind area with a precision of about 1NM neglecting the seconds.
What type of boat do you sail? What type of device do you use to get Windy maps?
