GPS Coordinates

[IsimonSays]

Did GPS coordinates work for all coordinates because I’m tired trying to type in coordinates but cannot seem to get them to work ;(

I take them in exactly how I’m supposed to a whole number ###N/-***W

Are you creating your FPLs in IF or are you using SimBrief?

Sorry but I don’t fully understand your question. Are you asking how to insert GPS coordinates as waypoints in IF?

How to Input GPS Coordinates to your FPL

Hey everyone! :) I’ve saw a few people asking about how to input coordinates into Infinite Flight, especially for transatlantic flights. As an example for this tutorial, we’ll be generating a flightplan from London Heathrow (EGLL) to John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) for an American Airlines B772 using SimBrief. For more about planning a flight with SimBrief, I’d recommend you check out this excellent introduction tutorial by @Chris_S. Routing by SimBrief: CPT3F CPT UL9 KENET UN14 …

I don’t think every single coordinate is within the IF waypoint database.

I only know so much, so maybe do some exploring around the IFC.

You can insert any GPS coordinate provided that it is formatted as XXXXN/XXXXW

@IsimonSays

41.0798, -85.1469

In your case, it would convert to 4108N/8515W

Positives are North/East and negatives are South/West. Think of it as plotting a point on a Cartesian Coordinate System.

Thank you so much! I get it now rounding them. Thanks!!
