Default map question

Because there are no numbers for(N,E,S,W)on the outside of the map I have a question about the radio message"SSS...38° 28'N,10°50'W SS.Manaar".
Does it mean that,every grid are 100°x50° ?

Those radio messages are eye candy only. But those are normal lat/Lon coords.

I know this has been discussed, with far better clarity than i can provide this hungover morning, Ad naseum in other threads. Try searching for it for more details. Also try the real nav mod thread in the mods section.

The messages are eye candy as far as the sim is concerned but, are actually real radio messages from World War 2.

Looks like a pretty good answer to me
