Hi Carlos,

Using C-style formatting string, I can only use %g, %f, etc., but it is
applied to Degrees component.

What I need is something like "%gº %3.2f", in whitch %gº is for the
Degrees, and %3.2f for the decimal Minutes.

Unfortunately, LABELFORMAT "DDMM" gives only the integer part of Degrees
and Minutes.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Pedro
