The data relating to your location must be entered as a
decimal figure, correct to one decimal point. As the co-ordin-
ates are frequently stated in terms of degrees, minutes and
seconds, these must be converted to decimal values as
follows:
The full degree figures remain unchanged by the calculation.
The minutes are divided by 60, and rounded to one decimal
point. The result of this division is added to the degree figure.
The seconds are not considered at all, as they do not affect
the first decimal point.
Example: co-ordinates of Daun/Germany
Latitude 50° 11‘ (45“) N
Longitude 06° 50‘ (10‘‘) E
Conversion of the latitude (Lat):
Lat = 50 + 11/60
Lat = 50 + 0,2 (rounded)
Lat = 50,2
In the menu you will enter the value, rounded to one decimal
point, for geographical latitude (50,2).
The decimal value for the longitude will be calculated in the
same way.
9.3 Setting a satellite position
For each satellite position to be included, work through the
procedures described in Points 9.3.1 to 9.3.3. When pro-
gramming satellite positions, it is recommended that you
begin with the most easterly satellite location. Then, continue
by adding the other satellite positions, working in a westerly
direction, until you have reached the most westerly satellite
position. Your digital receiver has been pre-programmed at
the factory for the most commonly used satellite positions. In
addition, you may enter and configure user-defined (User)
satellite positions (User 1 to User 14) for any orbital position.
