Without knowing what the conversion factors are, there is no way to tell you the math is correct, imo. (nm)

it looks funky to me, but I haven't done more than skim it.

hmmmm, what conversion factors are you referring to? -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:48 7
- the 6080 and 60, I'm assuming are unit conversions. (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 13:54 6
  - the 6080 is to convert to feet. I don't know about the 60. - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:57 5
    - oh wait, I'm averaging to find the center point. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:58 4
      - Yes, averging would find the mid-latitude, but why then cosine that? - musubi Sep 14, 14:01 3
        
        I don't know!!! *cries* I know, I know, I have asked him several times to tell me what's what. - loosilu at work Sep 14, 14:07 2
        
        Just put in a series of known points and test if it gives you an accurate reading. - musubi Sep 14, 14:09 1
        
        I am, and it's not. I know I got something wrong. that's why I'm asking. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 14, 14:28
