You've missed a bracket the top one has 2 opening and 3 closing

but that's

N50.41.43200
W0003.16.0

so I think you may have made a mistake putting it in possibly a + where it should be a - ath the end of the first somewhere?

But you do the brackets first then division, multiplcation addition and finally subtraction

Jake-the-peg. You are right. I,m a dummy. I did not enter this puzzle correctly. I should have checked.
N50.24*2-5-2.(36+40+24)*(5+4)+2+(2*24)
w003.(2*12)-6-2.0(18-5)

(36+40+24)*(5+4)+2+(2*24)
is
(100)*(9) + 2 + (48)
which is

900 + 50 =950
