| Location Sensor and Data View 1. Is there a way of hiding the towns and cities names from a map in Data View? Even in the smallest font, these names are obscuring the pushpins. 2. Is there a way to change the lat/long within the location sensor from decimal to conventional (dd:mm:ss) format? Thanks once again in advance Gus         |

| Conventional Lat Long
Gus I have been unable, so far, to resolve this problem, but I have found a conversion formula that could be used if a series of conventional lats + longs were to be input to a table/spreadsheet, the formulae could be used to convert these to digital that could then be transferred to Mappoint. For example, a Pushpin 53d15m00s North 001d30m00e could be input to a table or database, but then converted to 53.250000N001.5000E. My guess is that Mappoint could be made to look at the digital version of the data in a database and use this as the basis for plotting the points of interest. |

| Digital Lat Long
Gus Further to my last, look here for details of the conversion formulae http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/DDDMMSS-decimal.html |
