Anyone bought a Targa SatNav from Lidl recently?

A bit of a last minute request, but Targa helpline haven't got back to me and we're heading away tomorrow lunchtime...
Has anyone actually figured out how to get the coords in on the "Enter GPS position" screen?
Mine comes up with Enter longitude and I'm trying to put the west coord in, but it seems to want an extra digit(?) and I sure as help can't figure out how to get it to go in and give me a latitude screen... Keeps flashing up with my current location or something instead.
It's driving me potty... and the manual is as much use as a chocolate teapot in this regard...
Seems way too sensitive, too, and gives me completely different digits than I carefully selected quite frequently. Calibrating screen did not help.
If anyone can help you would be saving me much pain suffering... (and enabling me to visit more geocaches while away)
It's the E3520 that they were selling a week or so ago. I've set it so it should be taking DD.mm.mmm
Thanks

When I'm inputting Longitude into a GPS program I enter - (minus sign) for all positions West of Greenwich
Possibly might help you0 -
Or add a zero at the beginning?0
