| Coordinates in Google Earth and TripTrackers don't match | ||

| I don't know if that is a bug or not, but for example coordinates S:49.50.33 W:-17.00.46 take you to a small island St. Marie near madagascar in Google Earth, but in TT it throws you on the mainland.. | ||

| This is not a bug. Google Earth displays longitude and latitude in degrees, minutes and seconds (e.g. -17 00'46" 49 50'33" ) while TripTracker displays them in decimal degrees. To convert to decimal degrees you need to divide minutes by 60 and seconds by 3600 and add both to degrees. In your case you get - lon: 49.8425, lat: -17.012777777777777777777777777777778 which points directly to a small island near Madagascar. You can also use this site to convert between formats: http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/DDDMMSS-decimal.html I will add the request to support both formats in our internal tracking system. | ||
