Title: correct format for latitude/longitude
Post by: PatrickZ on July 26, 2010, 05:51:53 pm

When I try to make a request for an airport on http://www.airlinemogul.com/airlinemogul/submit_airport.php (http://www.airlinemogul.com/airlinemogul/submit_airport.php) I always get an error about the latitude/longitude. It says it's not in the correct format. Now my question is, what is the correct format? I've tried several formats, but none of them seem to work. If I enter those formats in Google Earth for example, it works with no problem. But Airline Mogul doesnt take it.

ah... they have to be in decimal and have 6 decimal places. Usually that is the problem.

HKG/VHHH

Latitude: 22°18'32"N (22.308889)
Longitude: 113°54'53"E (113.914722)

You need to enter the set that are in the bracket.

You could find the decimal set in GCM / AirNav, or you could use this (http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/DDDMMSS-decimal.html) to convert degree to decimal.
