I have just installed a new Raspberry Pi installation using Buster and 73Linux (updated Build-a-Pi).? I downloaded YAAC and it installed YAAC-1.0-beta191.??
I have a GPS attached and it is showing a 3D fix using cgps at my gridsquare.
When I configured YAAC, I used Wizard mode.? On the third screen, it asks for my default location.
I have my location in decimal degrees and degrees-minutes-seconds
But the wizard wants location in a format that does not look like either of these.? I entered my degrees and tried to enter my minutes and seconds but I don't believe that is what YAAC expects.
What is the format expected by the Wizard???

I selected that I have a GPS via gpsd and I believe this is working as I can see my coordinates and gridsquare in cgps.? YAAC shows a GPS button in green.
When I click on "pan to local station position" the map puts me some distance away from my location, which is shown with my icon correctly.
YAAC seems to be stuck using the coordinates I entered in the Wizard rather than using the GPS supplied coordinates.
How do I get YAAC to center on my actual location as found by my GPS?

Greetings.

The units for latitude and longitude in APRS are degrees and fractional minutes. You can switch to either of the two other formats you mentioned from the expert-mode Configuration dialog's Preferences tab, but the default display and entry unit are the protocol "wire" unit.

Your station location is the last location for your callsign that was echoed back from a digipeater. I would assume that you didn't select using the GPS data as your station's beacon position when you were in the wizard, nor via the expert-mode Configuration dialog. Therefore, your beacon position would be the fixed location you typed in using the wrong units.

Hope this helps.

Andrew, KA2FFO

Andrew,?
Thanks for the information.
Weirdly, I restarted YAAC to work on your info, and it came up centered on my current location which the GPS would have provided.? And it also started displaying nearby beacons.? So all is well, somehow.
