Hi Carson, I am just having a little bit of trouble with the geocordinate input. There seems to be a number of variations on the gps numbering system. on one hand there is a decimal version and on the othere there is a version which works in Degrees . minutes and seconds. Also from looking at other plugins like ghowl they use the system where it seems to go degrees minutes . seconds. i am just wondering which works best with mosquito

The decimal WGS84 system is the standard for API protocols and GIS systems, since decimal numbers are easier to send back and forth. Stick with decimal....Googles earth/maps also outputs data in wgs84.

Here are the three conventions, I would stick with number 3:

1. degrees, minutes and seconds (d m s)
2. degrees, minutes and decimal minutes (d m.m)
3. degrees, decimal degrees (d.d)
