Actually, technically, you can use any degree format you want when specifying degrees in any dialog box, not just your specified degree format, and not just on certain dialog boxes.

The problem with the Add/Edit POI dialog boxes is that the degrees were not being formatted before pre-populating the text fields. But the code to parse them should still work, and that parsing code is format-agnostic (it understands all of the formats at once).

The dialog will be corrected in the next version. Thanks for the catch!
