Distance Calcs

Dammit! Just got a chance to review the logs from the last outdoor run. At the time I was mystified as to why the distance to goal function was returning hundreds of thousands of meters. The answer: when you put in your longitude you're supposed to put in negative numbers for western longitudes. Duhhhh. My goal was on the other side of the frickin' world, literally. Jeez. To be thwarted by something so asinine!!! Its dark now, but I really want to take the bot out anyway. I won't but I can't wait for my next chance to do so. It should really work!
