The data relating to your location must be entered as a decimal
value, correct to one decimal point. As the co-ordinates are often
stated in degrees, minutes and seconds, these must be converted to
decimal values as follows:
The figure for degrees remains unaffected by the calculation. The
minutes are divided by 60, and rounded to one decimal place. The
result of this division is added to the degrees.
The seconds are not taken into consideration at all, as they do not
affect the first decimal place.
Example: Co-ordinates of Daun/Germany (home of TechniSat)
Latitude (deg.)
Longitude (deg.)
Conversion of degree latitude (lat):
Lat =
Lat =
Lat =
In the menu used to enter the geographical latitude you would thus
enter the value rounded to one decimal place (50.2).
The decimal value of the degrees longitude will be calculated in the
same manner.
50° 11' (45")
06° 50' (10")
50 + 11/60
50 + 0,2 (rounded)
