Okay fair enough, although I'm not convinced for the following reason (sorry)
When I directly feed the displayed coordinates as displayed using bbTracker into Google Earth you can clearly see the results from my attached photo's on my earlier posting - According to Google I should be swimming in the sea and off by a couple hundred miles, rather than my actual location. So do I take it Google aren't using 'common convention' as well?
Interestingly when I use the send location function directly from BB Maps it gives me the following:
http://mapsBlackBerry.com?lat=54.90435&lon=-1.40362&z=1
The longitude is clearly shown as a negative value.
I'm confused
