Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Using Minutes Degrees Seconds in the gcs

[Pascal Brisset]

Hi,

available in the CVS head. There is now a "WGS84_dms" entry in the 
option of the coordinates menu (top-left of the map and in the waypoint 
box). The syntax is

   lat_deg lat_min lat_sec N|S long_deg long_min long_sec E|W

where *deg and *_min are integers and *_sec are floats. Optional ' 
(quote) and " (double quote) can be added to min and sec. The ascii 
prefix is WGS84_dms. So for example, you can run the gcs with the 
following option:

   sw/ground_segment/cockpit/gcs  -center "WGS84_dms 41 12 34.5 N 1 23 
45.6 E"

Heavy tests are welcome ...
