FS2002 shows latitude and longitude coordinates in the format N41*52.04 W87*15.59. Is there a way to display the coordinates in the decimal format?Thank you.

If you only want DDD.ddd then I don't think so. If you want DDD MM.mm the see the following:[MAIN]RUNNINGBADHW=0Location=210,51,1015,682HideMenuNormal=0HideMenuFullscreen=1Maximized=0HelpTopLeftX=715HelpTopLeftY=-18Display_Fractional_Minutes=1 //0 - default, ddd mm ss, 1 - dd mm.mmAVE_FRAME_RATE_DISPLAY=0W.

I'm not a programmer so I don't understand that code or how to implement it. I did, however, find a web site that has a conversion calculator for this purpose. I had a problem, though......I went to the coordinate N41*52.04 W87*14.78 in FS2002 and then tried to use the converter program to get its decimal value. I got an error message that the values entered had to be 60 or less. This makes sense since there are 60 seconds in a minute. The number that it kicked back was the "78" part of the 14.78. Do you know what's going on here?Thank you;Christine

I put your data into my LAT/LON calculator with the following results:N41*52.04 = 41.86733333W87*14.78 = -087.24633333The converter you were using probably wanted DDD MM SS vice DDD MM.mm.W. Sieffert

Howdy:stand-alone coordinate converters are certainly useful but to convert a single coordinate pair in degree/decimal minutes format to decimal degrees all you need is a pocket calculator, take the decimal minutes portion and divide it by 60. e.g., N41*52.04 --> 52.04 / 60 = .86733333 --> N41.86733333If you need to work the other way around, just multiply the decimal part by 60.Cheers, Holger
