In the process of setting up my station I notice a problem when logging in co-ordinance for Longitude my GPS says 115.9666 W, but Cumulus changes it to 116.376 w. Is this a problem or is it normal. It appears my time listings are correct. any would help...
Fantastic
Thank You Steve

Re: Longitude
Cumulus requires you to enter you co-ordinates in Degrees, Minutes and Seconds, as indicated by the headings on the input fields. From the figures you supply, it sounds like you are entering 115 degrees 96 minutes 66 seconds. 115.9666 degrees West is actually 115 degrees 58 minutes 0 seconds W - so that is what you need to enter in Cumulus.
You will need to do the same for Latitude, as you have presumably also entered that incorrectly. This page will allow you to convert between decimal degrees and DMS - http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bick ... cimal.html
