What format can I use to enter target latitude and longitude coordinates?
Currently Geopher Lite supports decimal degrees and Hour with decimal minutes. Geocahcing.com’s default format is in Hours and decimal minutes. See this link for more details on latitude and longitude formats. Since it can be a pain to enter the ° symbol, geopher uses a space instead. Geopher will auto-format the data in Hours and decimal minutes format. This gives you immediate feedback on what Geopher Lite thinks you have entered. Currently Still a bit confused? Me too! =) Look at the examples below. Example of hour and minute degrees: (normal) N 40° 05.849 W 111° 39.395 (in Geopher Lite) N 40 5.849 W 111 39.395 Example of latitude and longitude degrees: (normal) N 40.097483° W 111.656583° (in Geopher Lite) 40.097483 -111.656583 Note: Geopher Lite only understands the following characters: “.-1234567890NESW “. Geopher Lite substitutes all characters other than these with a space. If it is more convenient you can use something other than a space when entering coordinates. **Update: Wi
