Salty B747-8 workaround format…
At the time of writing, Salty B747-8 would not accept the ICAO SimBrief coordinates format;
however, as a workaround, the ‘ARINC 424 shorthand coordinates format’ will import without
any issues.

note: the degree symbol is obtained by pressing Alt + 0176 (on the numeric keypad)
