Eddie, the cient uses decimal degrees. I.e. 5 deg 30 minutes becomes 5.5000 when you put it in manually (edit->options). West is minus, East is positive. So 5 degrees east is 5.0000, 5 degrees west is -5.0000 73 Rein Pa0R > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: "Kovelan" <kovelan@xxxxxxxxx> > Gesendet: 31.01.09 04:57:19 > An: pskmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Betreff: [pskmail] aprs errors in pskmail > Group, > > i've noticed that when I plug in aprs lat-lon's into my client > (at the NWS) it's show up way-way off on a map.
