Jenny and Jon,
I must be a math/geognoramus. Here's a quote taken from the Help file
in Legacy.
"The latitude and longitude must be in the form of degrees, minutes
and seconds. The degrees must be between 0 and 90, if a latitude, and
between 0 and 180, if a longitude. The minutes and seconds must be
between 0 and 59. The seconds can have up to three decimal places
after it. e.g. 681234.293."
If the degrees must be between 0 and 90 or (0 and 180 for longitude),
and the minutes and seconds must be between 0 and 59 then where do
you get the number 681234? It's not between 0 and 59 or 90 or 180!
I understand latitude and longitude, but I don't understand this
number format. Is there someone who can put it in 6th grade math
terms?
Split it up - 68 degrees 12 minutes 34 seconds.
