The EO Track me uses a co-ordinate system that isn't Lat/Long. I did a conversion a fair while ago to Lat/Long but can't remember where I found the converter.
Can anyone assist?

thanks
Paul

It looks like lat/long to me, It is in decimal degrees not degrees, minutes and seconds. I think there was a thread on this not so long ago. There is a conversion program (excel) in the members file swap area.

I tried a search but as usual it came up with everything but the info I was after.
Yes, you're right it is decimal, sorry for my ignorance. I found the conversion and all is good now.
thanks

G'day Ups and Downs,

If as Rod N says, you only need a converter, you will find a program called 'Co-ordinate Converter' in Conversion and Calculation Tools, in Members Fileswap.

It is not a spreadsheet, but a small program that my son in law wrote for me, so no need for MS Excel.

Neat & tidy, and works a treat.

Cheers, Dave

Thanks Dave,

As explained I didn't understand the subject good enough.
The program worked well and solved my problem. Thank son in law for me.

Thanks
Paul
