Way back in my college years, I learned that numbers don't always
look like numbers. That's the case when dealing with hexadecimal.
Hexadecimal is a base 16 number system. Base 16 is important in
computer language because it is 4 bits (also called a "nibble"). It
used to be that when your computer crashed, you would see a whole
bunch of things like (0FA12 62B14) scrolling past on your screen.
Those are really and truly NUMBERS. So today is your day to learn
to count in hexadecimal. Here we go....0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D
E F 10 11.... Got it?
Then here are your coordinates in hexadecimal. You will have to
convert the degrees, the minutes, and the decimal portion each
separately:
N 2B 13.37A W 58 18.3A8
