Hello All

I am having some problems with pathloss, entering coordinates to create a site.

I am currently trying to get it to work with our own elevation data (GridASCII UTM). When i enter a coordinate:
34 03 72.70S, when i press enter Pathloss changes it to:
34 04 12.70S.

Does anyone have any idea why it would do this?

I am new to pathloss, and even newer to mapping, so any help is greatly appreciated.

My Geographic defaults are:
Australian Geodetic 1966, Australian National Elipsoid, Southern/Eastern, Use: Datum, and UTM Grid Coordinates.

Thanks heaps,
Graeme

Hi,
As you may know, 1 deg = 60 minutes and 1 minute=60 second.

In your example you have 72 seconds, so it is 1 min and 12 seconds

Good luck
