More Galaxy 15 (PRN 135) news


Recommended Posts

It was originally at 133 degrees west so I would guess that it might eventually be returned to that longitude.

Before 48 went south, we were kinda screwed here up against the Rockies. They had 48 at W133, and 51 was parked at W107. 48 was easily blocked by the mountains. Even 51 could be shadowed by the Rockies if you got up close enough. It wasn't until 46 that we had some decent service along the Front Range. Having 46 out at W98 has been a real boon. Still, wouldn't hurt my feelings if we had some redundancy.

When you make up a waypoint for WAAS 48 in a Dakota, Oregon,or 62 series, does it do like my 60 ies are doing?

N 00.00000 W 133.10000

When I click ok after entering the last zero, it changes the last zero to a one, and then reads W 133.10001. Both SiRF and MTK units.

The Meridian dosn't change the last zero.

All convert to W 133 06.000 ok.

No biggie, just curious.

Oregon 450: yep, does it. Gotta be a rounding issue somewhere.
