Title |
2 command with left angles error flag
| |
Description |
The old 2 and - 2 commands would turn negative degrees and positive minutes or seconds exactly as they were entered. This version considers the entire angle to be negative if the degrees are negative. This can be a serious error if a user computed coordinates based on the negative degrees and positive minutes or seconds. Therefore, we need an IMPORT ERRORS flag in the file where the user has imported negative degrees and postive minutes or seconds. They can check out the error if they know it is there and correct the original data file accordingly.

Resolution |
Recommend all left angle degrees, minutes and seconds be entered as negative for all future versions as well as past versions. There was a problem reading -0 degrees which equates to +0 in the iPOGO command engine. Subsequent positive minutes and seconds would make a right angle where a left angle was intended. If the initial negative degrees are not equal to 0, then the following minutes and seconds will be set to negative values automatically.
