Default Locations File QT.

For those with more experience, what is the number of relevant decimal numbers in the Long and Lat entries?, is 6 enough or more are needed?

6 is enough, less is fine too. It doesn't make any difference to the program if it's 60.2 or 60.200000

Are you sure, I've seen some corrections like this

[Location 95]
;Long=9.854112
;Lat=44.103783
Long=9.854110
Lat=44.103510
Heading=204
OnLand=false

I don't know what distance that means in SH3.
