Longitude - Latitude

[batdan]

I am in New Zealand and I cannot set Longitude correctly.

In "Location" menu, I set:
41 12 59 South
174 47 48 East

But above this it shows as :
-41.216389
-82.799444 (this should be about 174.8000 ?)

It shows Sunrise at 23:00 and Sunset at 12.30.

I have Davis VP2 and I am using the file watching feature. WsWin is 2.91.2.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,
your east-coordinate is not allright. You have to use no negative value.
Type in 174 47 48 and not
-174 47 48
But in the south coordinat you have to take a negative value, that means
-41

[batdan]

Yes, I have tried that. But it is still wrong.

If I enter 174 47 48 it shows as -82.799444.

Can you try on your PC to see what I mean ?

Thank you

Hello,
I fear I can't help you.
There's no problem. When I enter -41 12 59 it is shown as -41.216389
and when I enter 147 47 48 it is shown as 147.796667
What version of WSWIN do you use?

Hello,

So do I. No problem here. The coordinates are right. I had to switch the timezone of my windows and then to restart WsWin to get the correct sunrise/sunset time. But then it worked perfectly. All with the latest version of WsWin.

Greetings to Wellington.

Thank you for your help.

Hello,
you have used "north" and not "south"
You must take -41 and not 41

[batdan]

Sorry, it had changed from testing.

Please look at updated image:

Still a problem.

Hello,
I think, you'll have to wait, till Werner Krenn answers. I cannot reproduce the mistake, sorry.

Same here. Seems that Werner has to update the demo. Looks like a fixed bug in the full version.

Hello,

is a bug in the Demo-Version.

In the registered Version no more.

I hope you are right, I have just purchased the registered version.

Great product and support - keep up the good work.

Hello,

With purchased version it is better, but sunrise and sunset times are wrong by 1 hour exactly. Does wswin take into account day light savings ? I have tested changing system clock and system daylight saving settings but still the same.

Hello,

the program uses your Windows settings - so check here.

Under Weather, Sun/Moon you can see what the program uses.
