I found this bug on my own yesterday (Makes a really pretty picture
watching your station jump around randomly in a 10 mile square box on
the way home... I saved a png). My temporary fix was to add a '/10'
after the multiply by 6. I have not tested your fix yet, but an
interesting side effect of the rounding is that the conversions are
not exact anymore (degrees<->long) so things wander around now. I
have a bunch of 'items' that I use as waypoints, and they now have
trails! Nothing like when we had the x10 factor wrong... ouch! I
think the proper way to fix this is to see if we have a fourth digit,
and then do the extra x0.6 addition, otherwise leave it alone.
Chris.
