Yes! good catch.. and explains why :

44.9 SIN -> 0.713250449
as 44.9 -> 44+1°30mn ->45.5 and sin(45.5) is 0.713250449

EDIT : BINGO !


To reproduce the "bug" : Menu : System -> Setting -> DMS
and you get the previous behaviour. To comeback 'normal' calculation, set DEG.

To be honest, I was not aware of what is the 'DMS' mode (and understood '.d' like '.°') . But this DMS mode is little confusing for me and not coherent for now in my point of view. The good news for you Claudio is this this just a 'cosmetic' problem (or perhaps also a user problem, or a mix of the two ;D )

Ohhhhhhh... And here I was going crazy, I couldn't reproduce the problem at all, but I always thought you used a 'd' in the post in lieu of the proper degree symbol, so in my tests I used the degree symbol.
Anyway, you got 44.60d as an answer which is the same as 45 degrees except I need to override the rounding on DD.MMSS quantities and make sure I consider the corner cases to avoid displaying things like 44.60d
So... to make you feel better: it is indeed a bug, it should display as 45, not 44.60
And... to make *me* feel better... it should be easy to fix, and it doesn't "taint" the reputation of newRPL as a trustworthy number cruncher.
And this same fact... should make all newRPL fans feel better.
