I tried this last Wednesday. I entered 35 degrees, 35 minutes north by 15 degrees, 65 minutes west. However, my position kept getting set to 35, 45, 0.0000 n by 16, 8, 60.0000 w or something like that. I have no idea why my longitude kept getting so messed up, but I was obviously not in Kansas anymore, as far as the bn could tell anyway. (That was a joke--I am in the Northeast U.S.).
Have a great day, Alex

I don't think I mentioned in an earlier email about entering thelat/lon numbers into the BrailleNote. When you get the
FindMeSpot
track positions, you may see a minus before the longitude. In
the
BrailleNote, we don't take the minus sign. Instead, enter the
full
number and then say West when prompted. This equals the same as
the
minus sign. When one is in England and arround 0 longitude, this
will
change depending if you are west or east. West equals minus,
East has no minus.
Same goes for South. It has a minus but you would have to be
south of
the equator.
