+toonburner Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hi all, newbie question. How do I add co ordinates into googlemaps on my android phone? Lets take this as an example N 54° 57.132 W 001° 24.150. Could someone tell me what I type in please? I've tried 54(space)57.132(space)001(space)24.150 but that puts the location in the north sea, and it should be in Boldon, Tyne & Wear. Would appreciate any help! Quote Link to comment
+SKAMS Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm unsure were you "add coordinates" in google maps. I tried out to put coordinates in the navigation dialog where you enter the destination address: N54(space)57.132(space)E1(space)24.150 Should work (so add N and E and leading zeroes can be omitted) It seems that ° can also be replaced by a space (as you already did).

+toonburner Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Yes, that's it, thanks. I was missing out the letters. The reason for my question was googlemaps is handy to get you to the nearest road to the cache; if you're 5 miles away for example it's pretty hard navigating with just a compass! Thanks also for the tip about the leading zeros. Quote Link to comment
