==== Location ====
In this section enter:
#Latitude
#Longitude
#* The above two are entered as degrees, minutes, and seconds, as this is most accurate way to specify an angular position (internally MX uses decimal degrees with 18 decimal places as 17 of those are needed for one arc second)
#* You may need to look these up, don't forget there are 3 numbers and a hemisphere option to select correctly for each
#* The longitude and latitude must be right to get sun rise/set calculated correctly.
#altitude (not used in standard Cumulus functionality, but must be right if you send an alternative pressure reading to an external site)
#Name
#Description
#*The name and description are combined with other fixed words on the standard web pages, so must work in that context, and you are advised to look at the generated web page at CumulusMX/web/index.htm to check those added words.
People often struggle with these settings. However, these are not settings you have to get right first time, so a mistake is a learning experience.
