Forcaster times seem backwards

[50fathomsdown]

Im using a Weather Wise WH1080 after setting GPS data for eastern standard time. I found the forcaster times for sunrise and sunset seemed to be backwards. Sunrise was at Night based on 24hr clock and sunset was on the daylight hour.The Station configuration for GPS data has N and E set by default. By changing E to W (west) it flipped to what looks correct.

Am I living down under now or did I do it right?

I'm not sure I follow what you're saying. If you put your correct co-ordinates in, it should get the sunrise and sunset times correct. Are you saying you have to put incorrect co-ordinates in? Are you using upper case for E, W etc? Until a recent build of 1.8.8, it wouldn't accept lower case, and would revert to the defaults.

Whereabouts are you (east or west of Greenwich, north or south hemisphere?)?

Actually, if your timezone is Eastern Standard Time, then you're west of Greenwich, so W is the right thing to put, so I'm confused as to why you think that's wrong?

Ahh the answer you gave me East or West of Greenwich is the key. I set it to W and the correct times came up because I am in the USA east coast, northern hemisphere.
