cad-guy Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 can someone enlighten me on how to put in a latitude/longitude in the google search bar to show me a location on a map. I know I have done this before, but sure can't get it to work now. It is just like putting in an address in the search bar. Any help wil be greatly appreciated Quote

+biosearch Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 You can also add a comma between the lat and long. Additionally, if you want to name the waypoint you can put the name in parenthesis after the coord. Like this: N 36° 55.262, W 086° 26.490 (Ceratina) Quote

+WalruZ Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 the format that works for me is like so... 37 37.123, -122 01.123 no degree sign, minus sign before the westerly longitude, comma seperating the coordinates. works for google earth too. Quote
cad-guy Posted November 15, 2006 Author Posted November 15, 2006 thanks everyone... looks like I was trying to put the coords in the search window of google, not google maps. I appreciate everyones input. M Quote
