Give another shot with the below coordinate.
latitude: 32 degrees 31 minutes 6.7764 seconds
longitude: -93 degrees 42 minutes 24.2496 seconds
Let me know what the BrailleNote gives when requesting for the latitude and
longitude. To take it to the next level, let's find out what city/state
those coordinates are in.
Thanks,
Kevin

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
