Latitude Entry for Coriolis
What am I doing wrong? I finally got this thing shooting east at 1400 with Coriolis turned on. Now I was going to shoot west today & see if it is on.
When I entered my Azimuth at 270 degrees I got .5 more dialup for 1400? If I enter 0 or 180 I'm expecting to see my windage values change & they don't? I'm entering 41 for my Latitude, my GPS calls for N 40 Degrees 43.402' Am I doing this right?
Please Help!​
 
Yes i believe you are entering the values correctly.

The horizontal aspect of coriolis is determined by your lattitude, the vertical component is determined by your lattitude and azimuth.

North and south shooting results in no vertical change.

Dont sweat it i still struggle to visualize coriolis effect, i gotta grab a ball and pretend to shoot around it as i rotate it to get the full picture.
