Hi All,
Thank you all for your excellent replies.
After sitting down with folks, listening to their current workflow, and future
goals, I think we will likely move this type of collection to our existing
archive. Short term goals are to have them back up the data on the lone

What's the best (i.e., most standardized and flexible) format for storing
single-point geocoordinates? Pages like

Myself, I'd go with LAT,LONG. in decimal notation, with preceding plus
or minus when appropriate. Easy to parse and Google Maps ready.

Assuming you're asking about storing them in the database, I will differ from
Roy here and suggest saving them into to floating-point-number fields. That's
always seemed to me to be to be the bets way to go (one discrete data element
per field).
I also feel combining is easier than parsing,

Definitely stick with decimal degrees (-122.61458), because dealing
with minutes and seconds (122° 36' 52.5 W) is a real

I'd think it would depend on what you plan to do with the coordinates once
you have them stored. If you intend to do anything at all complicated
(spatial queries, KML generation, your own custom maps, area/volume
calculations), you might want to consider a spatial database extension (
