+RedHat39 Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 I can't seem to get the Lat/Lon section of a pocket query right. How do I enter my home location coords of: Lat:36.551460 Lon:-082.550071 TIA I was born in the dark, but it wasn't last night..."
+Stunod Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 You need to enter it as degrees & decimal minutes (DD MM.MMM), not decimal degrees (DD.DDDDDD), as you used in your example. You should enter it as N36 33.088 and W82 33.004 To get this, multiply the fractional part of the degrees by 60 to get the minutes. For example, your Lat was 36.551460: .551460 * 60 = 33.088 "Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand."
+RedHat39 Posted May 19, 2003 Author Posted May 19, 2003 Thanks. I'll give that a try. I was born in the dark, but it wasn't last night..."
