Lat & long

Recommended Posts

When inputting the lat/long in an island config file, what is the sign for the latitude? Normal convention holds that North lat is + but searching in numerous forums the only thing I see mentioned is for someone to try -90 for the North Pole. rock.gif

When placing in the lat/long I'm assuming that decimal degrees with numbers behind the decimal point will work? The couple of tutorials I have seen only use whole numbers.

When placing in the time and date in the config I still get May 10th @7:30 in the mission editor. What is the reasoning behind setting these values if the editor does not pick them up or am I missing something?

Appreciate any help. Thanks.

From the Commented Config:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

latitude = -40; // positive is south

longitude = +15; // positive is east

Thanks K. Now I know why I could not locate Polaris. smile_o.gif

What about the times? Whats the reasoning for input if the editor defaults to a given May 10th? Or am I doing something wrong?
