GPS Latitude / Longitude

Wed Feb 18, 2015 5:21 pm

I'm trying to enter the GPS coordinates in the web interface. Not sure why, why not?

Anyway, I entered them like 37.1234 and -113.1234 but the form fields turn red and the rollover error says "Please match the requested format."

Eh?

Hmmm... interesting...

I have not tried to input mine before now. When I enter the latitude of 48°38'29.7"N it takes it but it reds out on my long.

I opened a ticket with the programmer to fix for final release of v1.1.0 HOPEFULLY THIS WEEK!

Nice Catch

This is a documentation problem, not a code problem. Examples:

Latitude: 40°26'47"N
Longitude: 079°58'36"W

Note that the leading 0 is needed on the longitude.
