Waypoints

[NLOL]

I need a little GIS help on lat and long formats.

I created a hyperlapse task with 3 waypoints. The waypoint records are easily seen in the task library.

Looking at the waypoint records, I see the lat/long fields clearly identified - other fields too. However, I dont recognize the format. The values are:

Lat: .8334337033791177
Lon: -2.1699511533684433

Actual location is Washington State near Pacific coast.

How can I convert between this format and a common degree minute second format as commonly seen on a consumer gps?

Looks like radians. Somewhere near Forks, WA.

There are a few coordinates convertors on the web that you can use easily.

I use often this one : Degrees Minutes Seconds to/from Decimal Degrees

Yes to near Forks.

And mightypilot2000 - yes indeed. That works.

When I get a chance I'll do some back and forth conversions and comparisons with several gps units to see how precisely they compare. Might be some issues with GPS reference systems, eg wgs64, but worst case, one good local reference point from the drone, and suitable map (or other means to determine displacement ), and a little easy programming, and it appears easy to bench create waypoint missions.

(I don't mean to be rude, but to those who thought this couldn't be done- even showed why - pffft! Always ask, "How can this be done?' There's little value in showing one way it can't be done.)

GPS Coordinates Converter - Latitude and Longitude Converter

GPS Coordinates Converter is a tool to convert gps coordinates to address and convert address to lat long. You can use the lat long converter to locate an address, latitude and longitude on a map for navigation purposely or if your gps navigation system is giving you a lat long and you need to...
