Dear Ira and all, In the placename editor there is an option to provide latitude and longitude information. Apart from having the information if available, is there any present or future use far this option; for example plotting information on a map??? If so, what has to be the proper format; Example Drachten decimal: longitude 6.105 latitude 53.111 OR DMS longitude 53° 6' 0 N latitude 6° 5' 60 N?
