What, are you serious?

The column labeled lat is latitude, the number of degrees from the  
equator, negative for southern hemisphere.

The column labeled lon is longitude, the number of degrees from the  
prime meridian, negative for western hemisphere.

The column labeled course is the direction of travel, 0 is north.

The column labeled speed is the velocity of travel in the APRS native  
units of knots.

The column labeled altitude is the elevation of the station above mean  
sea level, in the APRS native units of feet.

A reminder for this and all findU cgi's, screen scraping is not  
permitted, this cannot be used for automated input into another  
program. See the FAQ on findU's front page for details.
