Dear Patrice,
thanks for taking a look at my code. Indeed, I was wondering about the 
proper way setting nautical datums. As I learned from your proposal,
\ang:
- sets no blank behind degree
- degree is composed of simple ° (\textdegree of pakage textcomp)
- minute/second-signs are composed of $\prime$

I will take a closer look at that package, since I remember only siunits.

Kind regards,
Carsten
