Longitude (From and To)

Scroll More

Latitude and Longitude are measurements that locate a site within a wider geographical context.

Enter a forward slash (/) and the underscore (_) as a delimiter between the degrees, minutes and seconds. The degrees, minutes and seconds can each be entered as decimals.

For example, you can enter 175_54_23E and the system will recognise and display this as 175° 54' 23" East.

You can specify your default directions (East or West) for Longitude in the Customised Configuration Window.
