Hi, Jim.

Decimal format only (technically the format is "double").

There's a function in the program to convert from DMS to decimal.

32° 58' 18" N -- 32.9717
96° 54' 11" W -- 96.9197

My system crashed and I have just started re-installing stuff. Last night
I
spent getting the Shortwave Log program back with all the latest database
updates.

I am having a problem with the system settings Latitude/Longitude. No
matter
how I enter the values it thinks I am in Russia somewhere? I have tried
using +- where required (I think correctly) I am thinking I am not doing
something right. BTW I am in Carrollton,TX right outside of Dallas.

From my GPS Latitude -- 32deg 58.18N
Longitude-096deg 54.11W

Any suggestions?
