Just run the setup again on your console and enter in the correct Longitude and Latitude values.
if you having issues with "knowing" your values the either use GPS on your phone outside and near your Vue to find them, or get the details or some website like:
http://www.latlong.net/
Zoom into the map until you ID you home/garden whatever and then mark the map where your Vantage Vue is. then the values will be populated and use these values to enter into the Console.

you need to add it now as decials i think.
50.813 N
0.3832 W
I suggest you download the Manual and have a read...

That's correct for your longitude to 1 decimal place, you need to enter your latitude as 50.8 North.

Seems a bit odd that they allow three figures before the decimal point for latitude, because it can never be more than 90, but if that's the case then yes, put 050.8

I'm confused. I told you that what you already had for longitude was correct - 000.4 West, so why have you changed it? I said you needed 50.8 North for latitude and you said it had four figures, but from your screen shot it only has three - two before the decimal place and one after, so 50.8 fits just fine.
