    Longitude and Latitude

    What do I put as the longitude an latitude setting in my receiver. In 'streetmap' I get the following when I enter my post code (I am from the NW/Lancashire area):-

    OS X (Eastings) 369142
    OS Y (Northings) 429327
    Lat (WGS84) N53:45:34 (53.759379)
    Long (WGS84) W2:28:10 (-2.469531)
    LR SD691293
    mX -274906
    mY 7090228



    And in 'dishpointer' I get:-

    Latitude: 53.7594°
    Longitude: -2.4695°
    Satellite: ****************** Motorized ***********************************
    Elevation: 30.0°
    Azimuth (true): 57.3°
    Azimuth (magn.): 57.3°





    Thanks

    Latitude is equal to what you get.

    Longitude will be the figure you got. However the minus signifies 'west'

    Hope that helps.

    Don't you have to round up the last few digits, as it's only 3 decimal places?
