I think the Search feature is broken...

My current LAT & LONG display format is NDD* MM.mm

Is it possible to get three or four decimal places?

What do computers and air conditioners have in common?
They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.

Try this...

In the [MAIN] section of your FS9.cfg add ..

Display_Fractional_Minutes=0

cheers,
Joe

Don't argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Thank you... thank you... thank you,

But what I actually need is more decimals in the Minute NDD* MM.mmmm

What your suggestion does is give me NDD* MM SS.ssss

I am not aware of anything other than what has already been suggested that can be accessed on the FS screen.

However the free TCalc program by Richard Ludowise can be used to get far more precise coordinates.

Look for tcalc_v2.zip

If it is not in the library here, it is available at Avsim.com.

Hope that helps.

Edit added: Would a display like this be of use to you?

If so, I can recommend the "aircraft" which has this "guage". I use it all the time when placing scenery objects.
