This is a REALLY NICE feature! Nice web site too! Thank YOU.
You have to make a small correction in the calculation. DECIMAL value is correct. So is the location of displayed stations. But the converted values for the other two formats indicate high by 1 degree. In my case, I compared stations in Ontario, Canada. Compare the raw APRS coordinates with what is displayed using the mouse coordinates when placed over a station.
Oops. I'll try to get this fixed today.
Fixed. A stupid little bug in the conversion javascript - the degree part of the coordinates was still rounded up: a decimal coordinate of 2.5 got an integer decimal part of 3 for the converted coordinates. Thanks for reporting this.
