The data relating to your location must be entered as a decimal value, correct to one decimal
place. As the coordinates are often stated in degrees, minutes and seconds, these must be
converted to decimal values as follows:
-
The value for degrees is not affected by the conversion.
-
The minutes are divided by 60, and rounded to one decimal place. The result of this
division is added to the value for full degrees.
-
The seconds are not taken into consideration, as they do not affect the first decimal
place.
