G'day all
During the configuration setup, I am trying to input longitute West for Nova Scotia Canada. Once I put it in and select OK, it defaults back to East. Has anybody else have this problem, and if so what is the solution?
Thanks

Re: Software setup will not accept west longitude
This does ring a bell from some time ago, I don't know why you're seeing it.
A workaround would be to put it in as East, then stop Cumulus and edit the cumulus.ini file. You'll see the latitude in there as a number and as text, edit them both to correct them, and restart Cumulus.

Re: Software setup will not accept west longitude
Thanks Steve,
Just after I posted I decided to try another fix, as I put in the longitude I put a negative in front of the first number, ex:
"-63------- W" It seems to work, it has accepted the West and has now given me a correct Sunrise and sunset time. Now just to get the webpage to work.
Thanks again
