Trouble With Streetmap.co.uk

[+MoonHerb]

I'm trying to enter co-ordinates into the search engine for streetmap.co.uk and I just can't get it to work !

 

I've marked my work :

 

N51 49.938, W002 16.364

 

When I enter that it gives me a location way north of where I expect it to be !

 

What is the correct format to enter Lat-Long ??

I dont know where you work but I think its like this:-

 

N51:49:938,W002:16:364

 

Let me know

Streetmap works in minutes/seconds and not minutes decimal.

Your N51 49.938, W002 16.364 should read N51:49:56 W002:16:22. Note also the colon between the numbers and a space between the Ns and the Ws.

I know the problem - one of the reasons I created Waypoint Workbench in the first place was to do the conversion so I could see it on streetmap.

 

To use it type the location in the DMM.MMM columns & click fill in blanks. You will get the location in all sorts of formats & a link to streetmap.co.uk.

Thanks, that's spot on. The confusion obviously came with the limiter between the N and the W.
