The seasonal report form has been updated to make it easier to enter a GPS location for bird sightings.
Location can be set as a block number (T120R25b), latitude and longitude in decimal degrees (45.18845,-93.78422), degrees minutes (45 11.307,-93 47.053), degrees minutes seconds (45 11 18.42,-93 47 3.18), or common form (N45 11.307 W93 47.053). Note the comma between the latitude and longitude. Click on Location to show a map of the location. You can move the pointer to display the exact location of the nest. I have found that if you make a waypoint on a Garmin GPS, you can brimg up the properties of the waypoint and get the latitude/longitude in the form (N45 11.307 W93 47.053). This can be cut-and-pasted into the seasonal report form. Click on location, close the map, indicate breeding status, set the date, and double click on the species. This is a simple way to enter seasonal report birds. --- David Cahlander da...@cahlander.com Burnsville, MN 952-894-5910 ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
