Simply get the Lat Long positions for each fix you need. These will either
be in degrees, minutes and seconds (54:21:03) or probably degrees, minutes
and decimal minutes (51:24.6456). You need to convert these to decimal
degrees.
For DMS - 54:21:03 for example - divide the 03 by 60 and add to the 21
(becomes 21.05). Next divide this by 60 and add the 54. Result should be
54.350833.
For DM.MM - say 54:21.5436 - just divide the 21.5436 by 60 and add the 54.
Result should be 54.35906.
Best thing is to run up a quick spreadsheet to do this to minimise typos.

I have begun to control the Farnborough Tower in FPI and wanted to create
the correct SID/STAR routes.
In order to do this I must create a .txt file outlining the route points
expressed in such a manner.... 50.033611
Can anyone advise how best to acquire this co-ordinate, say of Compton VOR?
My thanks in advance
Kev
