Latitude/Longitude arithmetic
planned

Stephen Wheatcraft
It would be great to be able to do Latitude/Longitude arithmetic. For instance: 32 degrees 14 minutes 52 seconds + 18 degrees 11 minutes 33 seconds. All you need is plus and minus; I can't think of a reason that you would need multiplication or division. I am a programmer myself and once wrote a program to do this in Fortran (I know, old language!).

And please give a way to make values absolute:
Runway = 89° | 89°
Downwind = Runway - 180° as absolute | 269°
89-180 was -91 + 360 = 269 and this value is needed when i convert it to an absolute degree.
The same if value > 360
Runway 27 = 272° | 272°
Downwind = Runway + 180° as absolute | 92°
272 + 180 = 452 - 360 = 92° (as absolute)
The absolute keyword (short: "abs") makes degrees between 0 and 360°
Other numeric numbers convert the keyword to positiv
-5 as absolute | 5
Combine with "number":
-5 Min to absolute number | 5
(or as number absolute)

Zac @ Soulver will it be possible to do something like
A=32
B=20
C=41.244
N A° B‘ C“ | N 32° 20‘ 21.244“
Zac @ Soulver
Franz Storch: Yes

Also, forgot to mention: conversion between degrees/minutes/seconds to/from decimal degrees - probably the thing I do most with lat/long.

Stephen Wheatcraft: Great minds think alike!

Thanks Stephen, interesting request.
