Alternate format option for Lat/Long?

09-17-2001

I'm plotting my results using M$ Streets & Trips 2002. Very nice piece of software (considering it came from M$!), but my only quibble has to do with the way NetStumbler exports Lat/Long data. In order to get my data to properly import into Streets & Trips, I have to pre-process the data with a homegrown perl script that changes the data from being formatted like "N 39.9xxxxx" to "39.9xxxxN". It's not all that terrible ($lat =~ s/(.)\s(.*)/$2$1/

, but still an extra step. It would be nice if we could select an option to control how that data gets exported...

Cheers..

Go get yourself one. It's not like they're THAT expensive. If you really want one, cough up the $100 or so for a Garmin eTrex, and get a cable. Whammo.
