One feature to pay attention to is how latitude and longitude are input in ASSIST. There is an option to input degrees, minutes and seconds. You can input decimal degrees by only using the degrees input box. To input degrees and minutes, you can input minutes with fractional decimal places but pay attention to only enter degrees in whole numbers. If you input degrees, minutes and seconds ensure that degrees and minutes are given in whole numbers with no fractional values. It is a feature of ASSIST to convert the geographic positions into decimal degrees.
Possibly consider writing some checks/user warnings to make sure these criteria are met, or make the info next to the boxes clearer.
