Entering Lat / Long

[TomMelvin]

I noticed with RC1 of version 5 the 'pull down' (hh mm sss.ss) associated with entering lat/log is no longer there.

Do you have any comments on the best way to enter the different formats of lat/log.

Hi Tom

I will add the dropdown functionality in a simillar way also to version 5.0 before the final release. In the meantime you can, for example, copy/paste the coordinates out of Google Earth, it is exactly the same format as it is displayed in the Placemark tool window.

Best regards,
Sven

Thanks for the quick reply Sven

Happy to wait - I do find entering the lat/long on DL 4 to be a little hard work - it's ok if I have it in hh mm ss but many places use hh mm.mmmm
so I have to use a web site to convert - how about an option in 'Calculate' to handle the different datum formats.

Thanks

Tom

Hi Tom

Yes, that's the reason why it is not yet included, I want to add more input formats, which takes a little bit longer.
