The coordinates of your location must be entered as a
decimal value, correct to one decimal place. As the co-
ordinates are usually stated in degrees, minutes and
seconds, these must be converted to a decimal value as
follows:
The full degree value is not affected by the calculation. The
minutes are divided by 60, and rounded to one decimal place.
The result of this division is added to the degree value.
Seconds are not considered for the calculation, as they do
not influence the first decimal place.
Example: Coordinates of Daun/Germany

Latitude

50° 11‘

(

45“)

N

Longitude

06° 50‘

(10‘‘)

E

Converting the degrees latitude (LA):

LA

=

50

+

11/60

LA

=

50

+

0,2

(rounded)

LA

=

50,2

To enter the geographic latitude in the menu, use the value
rounded to one decimal place (

50,2).

The same method is used to calculate the decimal value of
the longitudinal position.
