Converting task coordinates for Google Maps / Earth?

[turner]

Hi all,
I'd like to view some of the task courses in Google Maps / Earth, but even after manually replacing the decimals with degree, minute, and second marks, it's usually not working.

For example, how do I convert this?

Coords: 46.10.867N / 9.54.167E

I tried it as:
46°10'86.7" N, 9°54'16.7" E

with a few spacing variations, but cannot get it to work.

Any help appreciated!

The Condor format is neither decimal nor sexagesimal degrees, it is similar to the .cup or .igc file format

Thanks - yes, I saw that, but want to convert Condor coordinates to "standard" coordinates.

Is that possible?

Hi turner,
The answer is in the cup fiel format description.
Just have a look to the simple calculation

46.10.867 N is read as 46° 10.867 ' (minutes are in decimal) that is 46° 10' 52.02" (0.867 x 60) or 46.181117 decimal degres (10.867/60)

and

9.54.167 E is read as 9° 54.167' that is 9° 54' 10.02" or 9.9027833 decimal degres (54.167/60)

CoCoCo can also convert between different lat/lon formats, not only to and from Condor (X,Y)

You can also copy the result to the pasteboard

Lat=46.18112,Lon=9.902783

Thanks again.

Must the landscape be installed in order to convert the coordinates?

[Bre901]

If you want to convert to or from Condor (X,Y), CoCoCo needs to read the .trn file header to get the UTM zone and origin position.
This means that the landscape doesn't need to be properly installed, but the corresponding trn file must be present in the corresponding landscape folder : assuming Condor is installed in C: and the landscape name is Foo, the file C:\Condor2\Landscapes\Foo\Foo.trn must be readable, you can safely remove the rest (unless you want to fly in that landscape, obviously)

I you only convert between different (lat,lon) formats, no need for any landscape to be installed (in the above pictures, the "Landscape" field is empty)

Is the .trn file format documented anywhere?

Not officially...

Here is a small program that I found somewhere a long time ago to read the fpl in GoogleEarth
