Hutchinson County Simulcast 2 incorrect location

[pipelinetrash]

When I map locations for this system, this shows up in China. The GPS location is "101.xxx...", should be "-101.xxx..."

Where are you seeing it going to China? It appears OK for me here

I imported the db into ProScan about 2 days ago. I'll re-download and import, that should fix the problem. Thanks!

Where are you getting the "101.xxx..." from? ProScan imports as "-101.xxx..."

From ProScan, I open Favorites Editor, then in ProScan menu, click Tools>Google Maps & Lookup. Then select my (only) favorites list, and the system (ARCS) which has Hutchinson Simulcast 2. The result was Clipboard01.jpg. Studying the Favorites Editor, I discovered for every location listed in my county, the longitude was "-101.35", except Simulcast 2. When I edited and added the "-", the problem went away. I have no idea how or why the symbol was deleted, but it put one node exactly a hemisphere away.. I suspect a Biological Interface Error.

It was originally entered without the “-“ and a user sent a submission to fix it, which we did on the 5th. Perhaps you downloaded the database prior to us fixing it?

Very possible (most likely). The whole Hutchinson County system has been changing for 3-4 weeks, and I'm not sure exactly when I downloaded the database. And it just happened that two or three days ago was the first time I ever ventured into the Google Maps area. My experience with the whole scanning world has been very limited. The BCD536 is my first and only scanner since a RS Pro-97, and it's a little overwhelming to say the least! Thank God for Bob and ProScan, or I'd be stuck in zipcode mode forever.
