Lat/Long Tab

Entering Latitude and Longitude depends on the format on the label.

For Degrees, Minutes, Seconds (23° 34' 11" N, 117° 23' 44" W), use the Latitude/Longtitude (DMS) fields. You do NOT need to add the symbols. Just enter "23 34 11 N".

For Decimal degrees (23.5697, -117.3956), use the Latitude and Longitude (Dec.) fields.

EMu will convert to the other format automatically.
