I have a lot of brazilian fixes: but their coordinates are a little
different from fg; how can I translate it?
A little example
NEMO
s23 19.87
w046 08.08
MUTY
s23 17.38
w045 59.82
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but this looks like a simple conversion.
FlightGear wants the coordinates in decimal form.
"s" and "w" produce negative coordinates.
s23 19.87 = -(23 + 19.87/60) = -23.33117 (to however many decimal places you
want to carry)
w046 08.08 = -(46 + 08.08/60) = -46.13467

Curt.
