Entering GPS waypoints
GPS is great. It's revolutionized small plane navigation. But one thing
that bugs me is that there are two or even possibly three ways of entering a GPS waypoint. DD MM SS Degrees minutes seconds which is how we were taught in school DD MM.XX Degrees minutes and 10ths and 100ths of minutes DD.XXXX Some genius has Degrees and decimals of degrees. I think the first way DD MM SS is the best but I could live with the second way. But whatever we do, CAN WE GET EVERYONE TO AGREE ON ONE METHOD!!! If it hasn't already caused an accident I bet it will. Also search and rescue position reporting etc foulups are easily caused by this.
