RE: Help with G.P.S. Coordinates!
Thank you every one for your useful suggestions.
Thank you also for tolerating my banter on HP Prime features.
(I wish I had been a beta tester! That would of been interesting!)

I have decided on a solution which uses just a single numerical entry for Lat, and Long, and let program internally work it out.

Problem is this is still requiring a modification to _existing_ (Casio) programs which I have gotten used to being able to perform the required Sexagesimal conversion on the fly at time of direct input statement entry.... without having to worry about additional floating-point roulette along the way.

But now I can get on with it :-)

[Petition HP Prime Developers to please restore Grad to Trig Features; and enhance Deg/Min/Sec to accept GPS_Format, at as do other calculators (and not just Casio).

Of course this would involve _allowing_ D|M|S operation to actually be operative during INPUT statements, which is foolishly disabled in this Firmware version. Sad
I can only shudder at what other useful command-line options also no longer function during INPUT operations.

To mentally juggle having to adapt data-entry across calculators...I'll start to need cue-cards. :-)
