Try dishpointer.com, enter your postcode and it will supply you with your Latitude, & Longitude, position. Negative longitude positions = West, positive = East.

the uk is always north as we are located north of the equator ! (in the northern hemisphere)
your only other problem is where your location is in relation to the greenwich meridian (in greenwich, london)

I think I saw another post of yours, elsewhere, and you have found your latitude, & longitude. As I have already mentioned posivive longitude readings are East, and if I remember correctly yours was something close to 0.34E.
Go into the Spiderbox menu, select Motor Setup, press the Green button and enter your Longitude, and Latitude.

Mickha has already answer that for you above.
Negative longitude positions = West, positive = East.

Mickha also gave the same reply to the same query by the same OP on the other forum.

positive numbers do not have signs , so 2 + 2 = 4 are all positive numbers , whereas -2 + -3 shows a sum that has 2 negative numbers
so the fact that no sign is given indicates a positive number ;)
