The lat and long are in signed degrees. There are a few online tools
to retrieve your location in various formats. This is one of them <a

<br>
Click on your location and the popup will give you lat and long in
signed degrees as well as a couple of other formats.<br>
<br>
Eg Boston returns:<br>
-----<br>
<font face="arial" size="3">Long : -71.05614 W (-71° 3' 22'' W)<br>
Lat : 42.36311 N (42° 21' 47'' N)<br>
QTH locator : FN42LI<br>
</font>----<br>
You would use Lon "<font face="arial" size="3">-71.05614" and Lat </font><font
face="arial" size="3">"42.36311" for that location.<br>
<br>
Give that a try when your Kindle returns from holidays <br>
