Guys, what is the accepted entry of lat/long co-ordanates. Many of the combinations I try dont work (It reads it as an airway)

 

For example, how could I enter 74N136W or similar

 

thanks

Which model are you using? I think for most models it's exactly how you typed it:

 

74N136W

 

I think some accept N74W136. Make sure you enter these on the legs page and not the routes page.

 

If that doesn't work, take a look through the manual.

Joshua I think he means entering it as part of a flightplan routing in vroute. Colm did you try 7413N?

I'm still confused! Is it the format on the right hand side I should use here? It still does not enter into vroute if I try it this way, just sees them as airways...

The right column is the format that should be used.

 

Can you give me an example of what you tried to achieve and what you pasted in the route field to achieve that?

Colin,

 

ZOULU is N25.195833 W156.421111 which is quite far from your next waypoint 30N15 (N30 W115). This confuses vroute, as it rejects a suspicious very-long-dct waypoint.

 

I guess you wanted 30N55 (N30 W155)?

Great link. But, how do you code it if it is 6830N 07000W?
