Latitude/Longitude Anomaly

Recommended Posts

All of a sudden, V9 has started messing up my latitudes and longitudes. For example, when I enter (as I do for all places that I can) I enter the given lat/long, the program seems to throw in a "\" in the latitude, which the program does not read. The result is the place listed with NO lat/long. I've tried all lat/long styles, (degrees, minutes, seconds; decimal degrees; etc.) but for no reason I can see, all of a sudden a "\" is thrown into the latitude.

 

Help?

I am guessing that you are entering a negative latitude. TMG needs a preceding "\" in front of the minus sign to distinguish it from an exclusion marker. For further details about entering latitude/longitude values, and TMG's automatic conversion of input values, see the section in the Data Entry chapter of my book here:

Hope this gives you ideas,
