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

Hi
Just tried out using the dms coordinates and i noticed when you go and do a waypoint edit in the GCS the text field for the coordinate isn't quite wide enough to fit all the text in. Thats just a little thing
Also is it possible to add dms compatibility for the home position in the flight plan?

Thanks

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 ...

I was wondering if there was someone (maybe Pascal?) who might add the option to use minutes degrees and seconds into the gcs and flight plan for waypoint locations. I ask this due to the fact that at our competition a couple weeks back we had to do all the conversions to decidegrees by hand and this definitely was a pain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
