the lat/long coordinates seem to be in decimal form though so you'll probably want to convert them to deg/min/sec

Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2004 12:21 pmThanks ziliu. Another site is http://www.terraserver.com .
For those sites that show coordinates in decimal form (not sure if those are usuable in the scenery XML fie?) you can convert them to deg/min/sec at this site: http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/DDDMMSS-decimal.html
Haven't tried it yet but it looks fairly self-explanatory.
