Google earth Coordinates

[Elizabeth Carter]

Hi I'm from the southern hemisphere. I am not sure how to use google earth.

 

How do you put in coordinates.? I tried to put coordinates in but they sent me to northern hemisphere even though I put in S and E

 

I heard somewhere that the coordinates are not exact on google earth, how do I change true to google earths.?

Forget about S and E. Use N and W

Hard to say, since you didn't give us an example of the coordinates you entered. First rule of asking for help in any forum - You can't include too much information.

You may need to use a negative sign before the latitude to tell it it is in the southern hemisphere.

Hi I am in South Africa i.e. also southern hemisphere -

 

in Google earth go to Tools/options - in Show Lat/Long use Degrees Decimal minutes

 

then type in S33 51.513 E151 9.700 and it should take you to Sydney!
