+Desert_Warrior Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Using a PC, if you type <ALT> 167 you will get the degree charactor. º as in 31º 12.345 106º 67.890 How do you do that with a MAC? Thanks. Quote
Wintertime Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Option-K is actually a "ring above," used in Swedish (and maybe some other languages?). The degree symbol is typed on a Mac with Option-Shift-8, thusly: 32°. Note that it's a little bigger than the "ring above." It's also slightly different from the masculine ordinal (Option-0).

robertlipe Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Also note that if you're writing a cache page, this is almost certainly *not* what you want to do. If this is about a cache page, tick "is html" and write ° so it'll actually render correctly on multiple computer types running different programs. Quote
+fratermus Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 If I remember correctly, you press clover-apple-happyface-happyface-bomb-alt-d. :-) A gentle dig at the funky key combos I remember from a decade back. Quote
+zafwon Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 i use the ole "copy & paste then edit" from another set of coords... Quote
+Desert_Warrior Posted November 24, 2007 Author Posted November 24, 2007 OK - thanks. I don't have a MAC - but a friend does, and that question came up. She is not a Geocacher - but a Letterboxer. But I knew Geocachers would have the answer. A rare day - it is SNOWING in El Paso. Thanks again. Quote

+LostMontanan Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 32° Hmm, it worked, lol. I'm a Mac noob so any info like this is handy! Quote

On a MAC, go to preferences>International. Click "input Menu" button. Check "on" to Keyboard Viewer and Show input menu in menu bar. Then whenever you need some special character, click the flag in the main menu bar, a keyboard appeares and you can try out all the key combos. Quote
J'nK Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 (edited) 32˚ Hey I never knew you could do that on a Mac. Thanks. Edited November 25, 2007 by J'nK Quote
