Hi there,

Do you mean you want to update the link on the post edit screen? If so, it's located in the post-meta.php file (wpnavigator > include > post-meta.php) on lines 21 and 27...

'desc' => __("You can generate this info here: <a target='_blank' href='http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html'>http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html</a>", 'themolitor'),

Best,

Chris

Can you point me to the correct place in the code where i can update the link to the external site, to one that will work for me?

Steve

Hi there,

My best suggestion is to do a Google search, which is what I would do as I haven't looked into this myself.

Sorry I can't be more help with that.

Best,

Chris

I'm currently travelling around Africa and find that the translated coordinates (http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html) are a long way out from my GPS - which should be <3m from it's position.

For example, taking N5 04.512 W1 22.602 from my Garmin Montana GPS, the position should be in the grounds of the Stumble Inn, which i can see on the lower left corner of a search if i zoom out once
- not at the following coordinates that the translation site gives me
Lat: 5.081246
Long: -1.362624

Correct values:
Lat: 5.075119
Long: -1.376594

Do you know a more accurate tool i can use to literally translate the dd mm.mmm coordinates into dd.ddddd
