Humble apologies, Ken. I’m so sorry to infer that there was a problem with your script. Everything agrees for 38N 122W. One line of the output was
“Geodetic 399 EARTH -> WGS84 latitude +38.0000 N longitude -122.0000 E elevation 6.0 m”.
I thought that the “longitude -122.0000 E” was ambiguous, so I removed that and added the header “Abbreviated output for N39.0 W122.0.” What a typo … or really a ‘nobraino’. Everything else followed from that error.
So sorry. I promise to take more care with all future posts on any subject.
Bill Ritchie.
