How should latitude 54°18.9'N be written when preparing an AMVER report?

🔍 Key Concepts

• AMVER position format requirements (degrees and minutes, no decimals) • How to round or truncate 18.9 minutes to whole minutes • Difference between degrees & minutes vs decimal degrees

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In AMVER, do I report latitude in degrees and decimal minutes, or in whole minutes only? • How should 18.9 minutes be handled—rounded up, rounded down, or left as a decimal? • Which choice best matches the usual 4-character style for degrees and minutes without symbols (DDMM)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how many digits are normally used for minutes in an AMVER latitude entry • Check whether decimal points are allowed in the standard AMVER latitude format • Confirm that N/S hemisphere is shown correctly and that there are no degree or minute symbols in the coded AMVER position.
