Hi,

In order to increase the accuracy of my Postzon postcode georeferencing 
file
I am going to follow the method suggested by Gatrell et al (1991). i.e.
adding 50 metres to each set of postcode coordinates

MapInfo uses decimal degrees, and I'm not sure how to do this!

Could anyone advise?

One method would be to convert my decimal degrees to degrees, minuets and 
seconds.

However I was wondering what the solution would be in decimal degrees.

Thanks in advance

Paul.
