Longitude and Latitude for PWS indoor unit

[BlueyVIII]

Hi,

I’ve recently set up my PWS and it’s working well with the exception of one thing which is bugging me. The sunrise and sunset times are obviously not right and I think this may be due to the longitude and latitude settings being incorrect.

According to latlong.net my location is LAT: 54.108967 and LONG: -3.218894. However, the N23DQ indoor unit doesn’t seem to use this convention. Each setting needs me to choose NORTH/SOUTH and EAST/WEST, and also doesn’t allow me to input negative numbers.

Any ideas how to enter the location correctly, or convert it to the correct format for the unit?

Welcome to the forum.

The negative numbers refer to the opposite direction. A latitude of 55 indicates 55 degrees north whereas -55 would equal 55 degrees south. Likewise for the longitude, 90 would indicate 90 degrees east and -90 would indicate 90 degrees west.

In this case your values are a latitude of 54.108967 North and a longitude of 3.218894 West.

Hope this helps!
