stmerid ans slong format

[tetra...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I was just checking the format of stmerid (and even slong), and found values like: m43w0613

Does this means 43º06'13'' or, more unlikely, 43º 0613'', 43º 0613' or 43.0613º?...

Thanks,

Charles

I think looking ar the same person's entry in the ADB wiki will answer this and similar questions.

I just realized that also the Wiki contains simply
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, 22s53, 43w0613
Timezone LMT m43w0613 (is local mean time)

without marking explicitly minutes and seconds.

The associated chart finally does mark it clearly, see screen shot.

I have added this detail in the Help file at the longitude explanation:
