Looking up Lat's and Long's from a Notam
I am trying to find an easy way (not using a paper map) to look up lat an longs included in Notams. Google maps work but you have to convert (example 5310N11523W TO 5304N11522W TO 5303N11506W TO 5311N11506W) into a degree decimal format... its pain in the butt. There must be some easier way to do it? Anyone know a good way to accomplish this?

Try Google Earth, it can be changed to the different formats.

FlyBy E6B for Android or iOS will let you enter those coordinates and drop pins on the google map for you.

Hey Captain X,I am trying to find an easy way (not using a paper map) to look up lat an longs included in Notams. Google maps work but you have to convert (example 5310N11523W TO 5304N11522W TO 5303N11506W TO 5311N11506W) into a degree decimal format... its pain in the butt.

I came across this post while doing some related searches on notams. Just wanted to let you know that I launched a website a few weeks ago that might make your life easier when it comes to notams. It's called Zulu for Pilots and it's an interactive map that shows all notams on a map. One of the nice things it does is it takes obstructions (e.g. towers) and plots those on the map.

I really feel your pain when it comes to notams and I'm sure others will probably agree. I hope this website will change all of that.
