lat/long decimal or deg/min/sec?

[rjkeller]

I think I programed my Vantage Pro2 wrong. I used the values for lat/long in the deg/min/sec format but put a decimal between the deg/min. It seems that the decimal format computes to different values. What is the correct way?
Thanks, Dick

I understand where to find the conversion but does the Pro2 want decimal or deg/min/sec and if it is supposed to be decimal, how many digits must I enter?

Did mine from WeatherLink



You can see how it's stored in the console.

That would be decimal.  I think my VP1 would only accept a resolution of one place to the right of the decimal point. (1/10 or .1)  Been 5 years ago since I set it that way so I'm not real sure.

Mark's right.
