Default Hi Steve - Thanks for the first reply

I guess I should have given a couple of more examples of coordinates in my original thread.

Jut so we don't get off on the wrong foot and have folks trying to use this info, and having trouble with it...........

If you use
N39° 14.672'
W80° 22.718'

the alternative would be to use
Latitude 39° 14.672'
Longitude -80° 22.718'


The reason I bring this up is it's easy to get the Lon/Lat mixed up. If you drop the N/W, you should always precede the Lon with a (-) negative sign, at least if your in North America, otherwise your coordinates may end up in China.
