RE: GPS position discrepency
Scoffer,

The symptoms which you have reported appear to be linked to an inconsistency in the units of the position coordinates which you are entering into the conversion utility shown within your screen snapshots. Raymarine products report position coordinates in DDD-MM.MMM (Degrees Minutes) format, not DD.DDD (Degrees) or DD-MM-SS.S (Degrees Minutes Seconds) format as you have attempted within the conversion.

Correctly converted to DDD.DDDDDD (Degrees) from DD-MM.MMM (Degrees Minutes), the following are the correctly converted values:

Lat. 41-42.700N correctly converts to 41.711667N (DDD.DDDDDD)
Lon. 086-57.166W correctly converts to 086.952767W (DDD.DDDDDD)
