I keep getting the message "INPUT ERROR - Invalid floating point format" this evening when I try to use HTDP to update a position.?ÿ Anyone care to point out what I'm doing wrong?

Input and output reference frames are the same:?ÿ NAD83(2011/CORS96/2007)

Input date:?ÿ 2009.0?ÿ (also tried MDY format of 1 1 2009)

Output date: 2020.83 (also tried 10 30 2020)

Input lat:?ÿ 38 32 37.29946

Input long: 121 45 11.96262

(No height input, though I tried 30 once to see if that mattered.)

Checked "use the velocity predicted..." by HTDP.

Click submit, get an error page.

?ÿ

As a workaround I used the file upload option, which returns decimal values.?ÿ Once converted to DMS, this is what I got for the updated position:

38 32 37.30317
121 45 11.96720

barring my misunderstanding your post, seems to work for me...

Your input screenshot appears to be the same as mine, yet I still get the "invalid floating point format" error.?ÿ I even tried another browser (Chrome and Edge).

Curious, as well as frustrating.

The height value must be entered with a decimal point, otherwise it will return the floating point error. Same goes for the lat and long, even if you are only entering to the nearest whole number...

@jim-frame

Maybe you have one of those bad Intel Pentium chips.

That was it!?ÿ I overlooked the decimal point in the height on GeeOddMike's screenshot, that's what was different from my entries.

Thanks very much!
