Race notes by coordinates - DMS format
Hi
Is there a way to manually enter race notes? I got a document about some fishing crates that were installed underwater close to our home port, and I wanted to enter some race notes to avoid them. There are 28 of them, so I dont want to place them on the map, and they are in DMS format, so its not possible to directly enter them in a .csv. Is there a better way to do this? os hall I look for a DMS to DD.DDDD converter?

Decimal degrees would just be
D + M/60 + S/3600

Re: Race notes by coordinates - DMS format
Hi Nick
I have created a csv file accourding the manual:
area name
lat,lon
lat, lon
and I get an error back.
this is the beginning of the file:
haliv1
N45.906944,E13.848333
N45.906111,E13.848611
I tried DD MM.MMM format but that did not helped either. What am I doing wrong?
