SUMMARY
=======
 
You may need to find a location using latitude and longitude coordinates.
Road Atlas for the Macintosh has the ability to locate a place based on the
coordinate values you enter. The following article tells how to use
latitude and longitude to find locations in Automap.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
Standard latitude/longitude notation usually lists minutes as a single
quotation mark (') and seconds as a double quotation mark ("). Longitude
and latitude notation used in Road Atlas for the Macintosh
use the following format:
 
   <Degrees> <Minutes> N <Degrees> <Minutes> W
 
When you enter coordinates, do not use degree or comma notation.
 
To use the latitude and longitude option, do the following:
 
1. Start Automap Road Atlas.
 
2. On the Map menu, click the Go To Lat/Long... option.
 
3. Using the recognized format, enter the latitude and longitude
   coordinates. For example, for the location 47 degrees 12 minutes north
   122 degrees 35 minutes west, you would enter the following:
 
      47 12 N 122 35 W
 
4. Click Go To. If the dialog box returns empty, the values you entered
   were not valid or out of Road Atlas's recognized range.
