When creating coordinates for point features, I get this strange character as part of both Lat and Lon coordinates:

    Hi Hennie,

    I have fixed this issue, so tomorrow's 26.0.x daily build should work regardless of settings.

    Thanks

    Hi Hennie,

    Can you try getting the latest daily build from https://www.bluemarblegeo.com/products/global-mapper-daily-builds.php and see if that fixes the display issue? We have made a couple of fixes to the Feature Info dialog display that depend on the code page of your system, as GM 26.0 now natively uses UTF-8 for display.

    Thanks,

    Hi Mike,

    Updating to the latest daily build was the first thing this sly old fox did! I also suspected the code page issue and made sure that my system also uses UTF-8. Unfortunately it does not work yet.

    I will try to dowload a new new build in a weeks time to see if issue is fixed.

    Kind regards,

    Hennie.

    Hi Mike,

    I changed my system locale from English (South Africa) to English (UK). VOILA!! It works perfectly now.

    Hi Hennie,

    Actually I have been able to reproduce the issue on my machine if the layer code page is something other than UTF-8 (for English GM). I will fix it so it shouldn't matter what your system language settings are.
