Input coordinates improvement request

Not specifically for the GPSmap 67i, but since I get lost a little within all the subforums, I'm posting it here (but if it's the wrong place, please move it). I own a GPSmap 67i, and I also used the 62t where the same 'issue' is at stake:

Whenever you want to put another coordinate in the device, it will always start at the N or S (depending on where you are) which is the only thing within a coordinate you're really hardly ever going to change. So, before you can change the coordinate, you first need to scroll your way to the arrows to get to the first number to change.

Wouldn't it be way easier (and time efficient) to start the selector within this screen at the first number in stead of the N or S? That would save loads of time every time your putting another coordinate in.

If you did this constantly, all day, perhaps, but we are we really going to suggest three button presses (Up, Up, Right) wastes that much time?

It's a repeating thing that involves all users that put in coordinates. I do it a lot while Geocaching. I think it would make the user interface way friendlier. But maybe that's just me?
