Depends. Do want the lat/long to specify a point to an accuracy of 1 mile or one nanometre? As its a decimal number its potentially of very long length, but you you can round it the level of accuracy you want.
On a general note, as its a decimal number why don't you store it as such, instead of as a string? That would make it possible to do simple area based searches etc. in your DB (select where lat > x and lat < y ....) cheers, Ross K --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
