[drats_users] Maps/how to display/where's the cache?

Hello Dan and thanks!
I'm not sure what you mean by the format "deg.deg" unless that means
LatitudeDegrees(dot)LongitudeDegrees (pretty big units)
Will try changing to format ddd-mm-ss form today and let'er run for awhile.
Ultimately, a couple of us here in Northern VA are experimenting with
applicability/use in events such as the Marine Corps Marathon. We may be
limited by the number of operators who actually have d-Star equipment, but
nothing ventured, nothing gained! We're having fun.

Well, that's actually better than the "No Data" issue, so that's progress :)

I bet this is the issue. My guess would be that I'm not handling the
"degrees with decimal minutes" situation correct. I'm expecting it to
be either "deg(deg)min'sec''" or "deg.deg". If the lat/lon parsing
fails, then I just default to zero (not very helpful, I know). Can you
convert to deg-min-sec form or decimal degrees and see if that fixes
your issue? If it does, I'll see about figuring out why it's not
behaving with what you're giving it.
Thanks!
