Longitude and Latitude

[frank]

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?
