Additional Information

In the Direction field the direction is entered as "10-55-00" and user hits enter. This is basically the Degrees / Mins / Secs but the quadrant isn't given. In the video they set the units to Quadrant Bearing. Thus the user must enter the follow "10-55-00-#" The # can either be a 1, 2, 3, or 4. They represent the different quadrants. 1 = NE, 2 = SE, 3 = SW, 4 = NW. So if you enter "10-55-00-3" and hit enter the direction will be set properly to "S10-55-00W".
