| Can anyone explain how to convert coordinates from a MACR into longitude and Latitude. I don't know but are coordinates within documents/MARC/etc based of specific maps used during the war, so a conversion is not easy with out finding out the map used at the report. Just curious<br/> <br/> Thanks <br/><br/><br/>

| I would have thought they would already have been in degrees and minutes of longitude and latitude.<br/> I suppose an exception would have been site visit reports by ground teams when they would likely be GSGS or even Cassini grid references, which is a whole other can of worms if the complete reference isn't included.<br/> <br/> Let me know what you have and I'll see what I can come up with.<br/> <br/> All the best,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>

| I also have found that to be in degrees and minutes for Lat/Long...  You can plot them here [http://www.darrinward.com/lat-long/]<br/> <br/> Don <br/><br/>Sgt. Donald C. Byers, 613th Bomb Squadron, Togglier, 42-97344 Carrie B II, KIA 08/24/1944.<br/>

| Arrgh, you guys are right. I see it now, right there in front of my eyes, I just wasn't thinking clearly and the form didn't put in the degrees, min,sec notation. Thanks for setting me straight.<br/> <br/> thanks for the help <br/><br/><br/>
