Longitude and Latitude data different on CWOP
Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2018 8:47 am
The Long/Lat information transmitted to the Citizen Weather Observer Program (CWOP) is different than what I have loaded into Meteobridge.
I use this URL http://www.wxqa.com/search.htm to confirm the data/location being sent.
The long/lat information is near my station address but south and east of the long/lat loaded.
The information is entered in the location long/lat is decimal format xx.xxxxx and -yy.yyyyy
The data found from http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/raw.cgi?ca ... -Call-Sign
I guess it could be they are mapping the location incorrectly, but given the numbers in the raw datafile are different causes me concern.
Is there a way to convert the decimal format of long/lat loaded to the format sent to CWOP?
