Does anyone know how to display on the routes map a routing across the Atlantic ie using the following format.

GORLO UL980 LAM/N0477F380 UL179 CPT UL9 STU UP2 BANBA/M084F380 DINIM 5000N/02000W 4500N/03000W 3900N/04000W/M084F400 3600N/04500W 3200N/05000W 2700N/05500W RKDIA/M084F400 A516 OBIKE

The system doesnt line the coordinates 5000N/02000W or 5000N02000W or 5000N 02000W

Thanks,

Mark.

Thanks Mark!

I think I found it. I used simBrief for the flightplan and then looked at various formats. SkyVector lead me to a solution.

5020N works - it needs to be 5 characters. I guess it's the same as with intersections.... 5 characters max.

Yesterday I saw - somewhere - how to do this for north, south, east and west - so it takes +/- lat long into account. Once I find that again, I'll post it here.

Lat/Long to show on route map

NW = N -- 5200N/04000W = 5240N

NE = E -- 5200N/04000E = 5240E

SE = S -- 5200S/04000E = 5240S

SW = W -- 5200S/04000W = 5240W

Be aware that not all lat/long points are available in the navdata table. I ran across a few in the NAT's that didn't show - but the route depicted on the route map was close enough.
