SCFD rtrd. Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 That's pretty neat, but I have a question. Why is there three different Lat & Long listed? How do you know which ones to use? Map Coordinates of Selected Location Latitude:N 26° 55' 15.9528" Longitude:W 82° 19' 54.0954" Latitude:N 26° 55.26588' Longitude:W 82° 19.90159' Latitude:26.921098° Longitude:-82.331693 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptDavis Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 It's all based on degrees, minutes and seconds, but can be converted to decimals. I believe there is actually 8 ways to display coordinates on a map. Why 8? I guess the next guy had a better mouse trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thanks Capt. So if I look at my machine and it's displaying X number of digits, then I use the coordinates with the same number of digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptDavis Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yes, but most machines do three ways. You should be able to set the machine to the appropriate units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
