Hello. Don't forget that Legacy provides a way for you to convert DMS to decimal degrees, and vice versa! Quite a few people are pleasantly pleased to discover this. To find it, go to "Add/Edit Location." For just a few locations, 50 or so or fewer, it is not too bad. But if you have 100s or

Larry, As a mariner/navigator my opinion is that Millennia are doing it exactly right. We use degrees, minutes and decimals of minutes. One minute of Lat. = 1 nautical mile so when we talk in minutes we are talking in miles, as it always has been. The Lat. scale on the side of nautical charts
