HUD displays lon/lat in DDD:MM.mmm, that is degrees, minutes and fraction of minutes, while you need to express position in DDD.ddddd ( degrees and fraction of degrees ). So take the minutes and its fraction, divided it by 60 and add it to the degrees and you should have the correct value. -Fred _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
