        So the co-ords you have are in degrees and decimals of degrees.

          ok so type in the number after the decimal point and multiply it by 60 to give minutes and decimals of minutes eg.For 23.901855Type 0.901855 x 60Answer 54.1113Chuck the 23 back on the front23degrees54.1113mins South but if you want the seconds just do the same with the .1113.It"s all the same anyway, just expressed differently.

                  My trainer is equipped with IFR ---- I follow road. I went IFR once, I follow railway and it gave me a bum steer. It went for miles east instead of north around a sacred site. Half way allice to tenant creek. (must of cost a fortune in steel) Didn"t have a map of the bloody thing.
