Hi,
 
also consider the projection - I do use WGS 84... however the differences between projections are relativelly small ...

I'm currently typing the new GPS values into my map (not yet online), and noticed
just a few oddities:

The "West" doesn't seem right - this would put the bridge somewhere in the Atlantic
;-) guess it's supposed to be "East"? This would place it near Switzerland.

Maybe the first digit of the GPS ("N") got lost? at 6 deg. north, it's somewhere in
Africa ;-) using 56 degrees, it's near the middle of Denmark.

Maps are fun!
