Subject:Latitude/Longitude References in Text From:"Justin Ressler" <JRessler -at- ewa-denver -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Mon, 11 Mar 2002 18:30:04 -0700
I don't have a copy of CMS on my desktop (cringing in shame, peeking out
from behind his hands), and I was wondering, what is the proper way to
reference latitude/longitude in text?
Our document currently reads...
"...the database gamin are extends from (lattitude, longitude) 25.00.00N,
124.00.00E to 42.00.00N, 143.00.00E as shown in..."
In this case, degrees is inferred. Frankly my compadres, I don't like it,
but don't have the reference to back up a change. I have some suggestions
for changes, but nothing concrete yet.
Before you history/geography buffs reach for a map...it's the Koreas to
parts of Japan...
tks...JR
