thanks!

Every degree has 60 minutes (so 1/60 of a degree = 1 minute).
Every minute has 60 seconds (so 1/3600 of a degree = 1/60 minute = 1 second).

NYT: from how I understand it reads, the front is indeed 0, the rear is -1 and the +/- is the acceptable range. I'll assume (careful!) that the 00' is indeed minutes, and denotes zero. sort of like 0.00 or -1.00.

Not sure why the MT gives less mileage, that is interesting.
