This object has been designed for speed and memory usage to offer a minimal handling of a Latitude and Longitude geographical coordinate, it simply stores the coordinate in the form of decimal Degrees, Minutes and Seconds (DMS) over two properties named Latitude and Longitude. It is cut down and only offers some form of validation [...]
2021 has now arrived and yesterday the UK was out into another Lockdown to try and prevent the spread of Covid-19. 2020 was a difficult year for most business and people, CADology survived and we were able to continue adding features into FPAssistant Suite and learn about new software and tech.
