SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Tutorial: Work out your precise coords in SH3

Your maths look spot on to me sir.

Hopefully the instructions were pretty straightforward, and very glad it worked.

Now that I've done it a few times the time it takes is reduced to less than a minute start to finish so it's not too galling a process for me.

I think the next test is to try it near the poles and equator, but whilst we may get accurate coords the horizontal stretching of the equiretangular projection might make it difficult to compare to the mercator of Google maps.
