You have to convert the latitude from decimal form to degrees, minutes and seconds. Here's how you do it...
Latitude: 40.9576 degrees ...now multiply 0.9576x60. The value before the decimal point in the resulting number should be typed in the second box - that's the number of minutes. Now multiply the value after the decimal with 60. Round of the resulting number to the nearest whole number, which will approximately be the number of seconds, and type it in the third box. To remember this process in the future, just recall that 1 hour/degree is made up of 60 minutes/arc minutes and 1 minute/arc minute is made up of 60 seconds/arc seconds. Hope this helps. --- In [email protected], "Hotkey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I can't get latitude entered for the location below.
