Hmm, I'm quite worried that my brain didn't register that this

As a result of playing with with routes / flight plans, one thing I
forsee in the future is driving navigation instruments from a non-radio
source (i.e something like the NAV / GPS toggle which I'm led to believe
is common in many GA craft with a GPS fitted).
Now, the problem is that such systems

Further to my flight plan hacking (which is coming along nicely):
Is there any code in Sim/FlightGear to do generic conversion of a lat /
lon string into a decimal degree value?
I.e, something that would accept and convert some / all of the

Following some recent bad experiences with commercial simulators, and
the prospect of simulating (from an FDM perspective) a modern jet in

eventually let me use FG for the stuff I enjoy flying.
