Subject: friendly_bearing_to()
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2007 14:39:37 -0000
To: <bug-geo-postcode [...] rt.cpan.org>

Hi, friendly_bearing_to returns a slightly wrong bearing, for example 359 degrees returns NNW when it's practically N. I would suggest changing: my @nicely = qw(N NNW NW WNW W WSW SW SSW S SSE SE ESE E ENE NE NNE); my $i = int( $bearing/22.5 ); to: my @nicely = qw(N NNW NW WNW W WSW SW SSW S SSE SE ESE E ENE NE NNE N); my $i = int( ($bearing + 11.25)/22.5 ); Carl

Thank you. Stupid of me. The main push at the moment is to make GP work with freethepostcode rather than with the sample data currently provided, which is not (as I was previously assured) copyright-safe. I'll include this fix in the next release, along with the other current bug (an even stupider zero- not-true error). Some time this month is likely. best, will
