Moving Base GPS Co-ordinate Display

Ground Control Software Mission Planner

Hi

When I connect my USB GPS antennae to the computer running MP and start the Moving Base option, the latitude and longitude co-ordinates sometimes go funny with a large number of decimal places that I don’t think are real. You can see it in this screen capture with all the 66666’s in one and the 3333’s in the other.

All the text would probably fir on the one line allowed in the display box if only the relevant number of significant figures were shown.

Thanks

it will be correct.
nmea gps’s send the lat/lng in degree and minutes. and what MP shows is decimal degrees. during this conversion you can get a reoccurring result like you see.
