Help entering Coordinates in VaFWIS ( May 30, 2013 )

• Example coordinates

  * Example coordinate formats all representing the same point:
  Latitude and longitude Note: both negative and unsigned longitude are West hemisphere.	37,05,09 77,38,11	Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds
  	37,05,09 -77,38,11	Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds
  	370509 773811	Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds
  	37,05.1500 77,38.1833	Degrees, Decimal Minutes
  	37.085833 77.636333	Decimal Degrees
  UTM East, North, Zone NAD 1927	265661 4107443 18	meters zone 18
  	799004 4109487 17	meters zone 17
  	799004 4109487	meters (default zone 17)

  Note: a "complete" coordinate is made up of all parts needed to identify a point on a map. Latitude may be one decimal value or contain parts for degree, minute, and second. When Latitude is made up of parts then the parts need to be combined by comma (,) and presented using no spaces. Longitude is presented in the same manner as Latitude. When Latitude is provided then Longitude follows after a space on the same line. When UTM East is provided then UTM North and optionally Zone follow on the same line separated by space. A Tab character may be used in place of a space character.
