Searching for Coordinates
How to Search for a Location Using Coordinates
Open the Map tab and tap the magnifying glass in the upper-left corner.
When the search bar expands, tap the bar to the right and select Lat/Lon.
Enter the coordinates in one of the following formats:
DD (Decimal Degrees)
DMS (Degrees, Minutes, Seconds)
DDM (Degrees and Decimal Minutes)
Important Guidelines:
Include a minus sign (
-
) for negative values (e.g., for coordinates in the Western or Southern Hemispheres).Use a comma to separate latitude and longitude values.
You do not need to include symbols like
'
,"
, or the degree symbol (°
) to get accurate results.
