What's the format for the Longitude and Latitude ?

8 degrees 49'04. 49 N
82 degrees 37'18.92 W

Or where can I find docs on Geomap?

thank you

Hi!

Check out google, Lat/Lon are formatted decimally like:

51.220647, 6.767578 for Düsseldorf, Germany.

it doesn't work..

so far I'm batting 0 for 4 on plugins

I insert

8.811118 latitude
-82.617874 logitude

and the map displays Antartica????? instead of the Republic of Panama

what a joke

I used the site you gave to locate the coordinates.

Interestingly Google Earth lists the location differently then that site you pointed me to. I mean to say... that when I use the site you recommended to precisely where I want to point to it generates coordinates that differs from what Google Earth generates.. by quite a difference??

This is beside the point. Point is when I insert coordinates geomap points me to the south pole???

Hi!

Did you switch lat and lon? Enter -82.61,8.81 instead?

It wasn't the log and lat needing switching around.. it was the number of integers in the number apparently.

I was using coordinates with 8 digits your 3 digit number worked

thanks...

now onto trying to get the map to show up in the sunrise/sunset plugin

Am I missing something?.. are there docs with these plugins? I hate bothering you with issues that are simply the fact that I don't have a documentation to refer to.

Hi!

To which sunrise/sunset-plugin are you referring to? You can only combine those plugins, if they are meant to be combined.

It might've been some caching issue? The geotag plugin does cache your inputs for a few hours, I believe...
