Cannot Change User Waypoint Coordinate to a Name

I posted this on Navigraph Discord/General but was told to post on this Forum.

Not having any success after changing a User Waypoint name. The changed name is not displaying on the map - it still shows the coordinates.

This is a flight created in VFR. It worked on the first two User Waypoint of the four that I wanted to change. These two refuse to change.

See attached for MSFS pln file as well as a full screenshot of the Chart

Hi…,

Can you please post the flight plan string in text we can copy and paste into Charts.

Cheers
Ian

Sorry - will do. Also adding another screenshot.

I discovered this morning that if I rebuild the flight as a new flight and pick the same waypoints the changed user waypoint names previously created do show on the chart.

But the original flight route still does not allow the name to show on the chart.

I looked a bit deeper into your route, and the issue is that your highlighted coordinate waypoints are in DDMM format (e.g. 4349N) which is currently not of high enough resolution to be converted into user waypoints. Your other waypoints are in format DDMMSS (e.g 444300N) and can be converted into user waypoints. When you define a coordinate point within Charts (Right click > Add to route) you automatically get the supported DDMMSS format.

We’ll look into adding support for DDMM too.

As a workaround for now, convert all points to DDMMSS, like so:
CYOW DCT 444300N0753100W DCT CNL3 DCT 442158N0755901W DCT CYGK DCT CYTR DCT 435200N0784300W DCT CYOO DCT 434900N0790400W DCT CYTZ/26

Which works:
