Hi,
2. You can now set the probe's details (geolocation and description) using the butting in the top right corner of the probe status page. I'm having a problem with that. When I enter "Rozendaal", it only knows about this place in Zuid Holland, not the one where I live. I then took out my GPS and copied the coordinates from there. However, the GPS gives {N|S|E|W}degrees:minutes:seconds, how do I correctly enter that? Use a calculator :-)
My GPS reports coordinates in this way: N52 22.366 E4 53.308 i.e. degrees and decimal minutes (no seconds). To convert that to true decimal degrees, as expected by atlas, you divide the minutes by 60 and add that to the degrees value. So the above becomes: 52 + 22.366/60 = 52.37277 4 + 53.308/60 = 4.88847 Those would be the numbers to enter in the page for the probe at/near this location (leaving it as an excercise to the interested reader to find out where that is :) -- Rene
