Localized weather publishes incorrect coordinates

Problem

When MAK ONE applications publish localized weather coordinate values on the network, they are sending incorrect values. Effectively, they double convert, changing the latitude and longitude from radians to degrees.

Other MAK ONE applications ultimately process them correctly by performing an extra conversion from radians to degrees. Third-party applications, on the other hand, receive the incorrect values.

Affected Products

Third-party applications receiving published weather information from MAK ONE 2024 VR-Vantage applications (VR-Vantage 3.1.x, VR-Forces 5.1.x, VR-Engage 2.1.x, and so on)

Severity

Low

Platform

All platforms

Solution

Update your application to perform an extra conversion from radians to degrees.
