I appreciate everyone's ideas and opinions. I think that for now I will
leave Lat Lon Tools as it currently operates, but I will look over the
suggestions to see if I can make sure the options are as clear as possible.
Thanks once again for your input.

It's already a switchable option. The question is,
what is the default if you don't select an option.

Hi,
My personal opinion is, that GIS should think more in a mathematic way. Because
of that, I always prefer working with XY-values, no matter which CRS I am
using. It is always a mess for your work, if data using YX-values, and you will
analyse your data with mathematic formulas. The usage of

Hi,
the tool is great, thank you so much -- and I can live with the settings as
they are.

1. "lat/lon" is the world wide order for degree based maps (esp in the
navigation space)
2. "Lat Lon is the name of the tool,
It doesn't make any sense (to me) to have lon/lat as the default order for this
tool. I know some other GIS tools use lon lat to be consistent with northings &

My two cents, one for each statement:
1- As the tool is named LatLong, it seems fair to hope that the

I too like lat,long, but I can live with anything that is done.
I'll just set it to lat,long.
I understand the thinking to change it to X,Y. Many people
in the field would agree that is better. I'm just not one of them.
I use this tool constantly. Thank you.

Hi,
I would default to the name of the tool. Lat Lon. This way, we can more easily
remember.
As a side note, being dyslexic (and getting stuff like left and right wrong 25%
of the time!), I always like when I also see things like N, W or x,y or row
col, besides lat Lon in the GUI just to
Given that the question only applies to the default at installation,
I think it's so much a matter of taste you might as well flip a
coin.
We talk about "lat/lon", so that strikes me as the natural order for
the default.
I mostly work in UTM, so it doesn't matter
I generally use Lat Lon Tools to go to a specific coordinate that I found
somewhere (online maps, Wikipedia etc.) - so latitude, longitude is
preferred. There are other use cases where X,Y is preferred, but I have
always found it easy to switch using settings or dropdown menu when needed.
Thanks
It was suggested to me that the default coordinate order in the Lat Lon
Tools plugin for coordinate capture and zoom-to tools should be "longitude,
latitude" or "X, Y". Originally, Lat Lon Tools was designed to work with
on-line maps which are generally "latitude, longitude" order.
