Putting in waypoints

You will need to convert them to the appropriate format.

I can give you the mathematical equations you will need to do this, however you might find this Coordinate converter easier to use LOL. (Just click on the underlined words and it takes you to an ExplorOz page)

The method to convert DD MM SS formats to DD.DDDD formats is straightforward. So if you prefer to do it yourself in excel or via calculator use the following method (with example -32 15’ 28”)

A. Divide SS by 60 ( 0.4667)
B. Add the result of A to MM (15.4667)
C. Divide the result of B by 60 (0.2578)
D. Add the result to DD (-32.2578)

David, are you using a hand held GPS or some other type? If its a hand held what brand and model is it?

Bob.

Hi David
I thought may be there is a setting in "Traveller" whereby you can select whether you want to input in degrees, minutes, seconds or decimals of minutes. There is in most other navigation packages.
