Guest Philmarriott Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Evening all. Just having a play around with the new mount but the handset won't accept my coordinates of 52.92n. Once I input them and press enter the flashing cursor reverts back to to number 9. If I change the 9 to a 5 it will accept it but that's not my position. Anyone come across this before? Thanks Phil.

Perkil8r Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It's asking for degrees and minutes not degrees as a decimal. So the maximum it will allow is say 52.59 as 52.60 would be 53 if that makes sense? .92 * 60 = 55(.2) so enter 52.55 and it will be correct.

Daz Type-R Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Remember the date format is American. That catches a few people out aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
