That one worked fine, though I do not have the map for that area. At least the numbers stayed the same instead of changing like they did for me Wednesday. Strange. 


Have a great day,
Alex

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

I don't think I mentioned in an earlier email about entering the
lat/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.
