Coordinates

Coordinates consist of a latitude as the first component and longitude as the second. The components need to be separated by a comma (,).

Coordinates may be entered in any of the official formats:

• Degree/Minute/Second: 52°26'23"N, 013°30'19"W
• Degree/Decimal Minute: 52°26.383'N, 013°30.317'W
• Decimal Degree: 52.43972, -13.50528

Directions can be either entered as compass points (N E S W or O for German "Ost") or as a leading sign (+/-). If neither is entered, a + leading sign will be assumed.

Any special characters (° ' ") may be replaced by non-numerical characters like blanks, hyphens, letters or any other character, that is not a digit. The official symbols for arcminute (′) and arcsecond (″) are unfortunately not yet supported and will render the coordinate impossible to parse.

Examples:

• 52°26'23"N, 013°30'19"W
• 52°26'23''N, 013°30'19''W
