[rdfweb-dev] Geo coordinates tip

[Danny Ayers]

After having my Geo data all wrong, I just got this tip :

------

You may get the coordinates at http://maps.yahoo.com. When you click on 
the map you get there, the coordinates are given in the URL as param. 
slt and sln, where slt is north or south (latitude) and sln west or 
east (longitude)

getting degees, minutes and seconds is quite easy:

The integer ist the degree value. subtract it
divide by 60, the integer is the minute value, subtract it
divide by 60 and you will habe the seconds

to get the decimal values, go oposite way multiplyinig by 60.

Jutta
