latitude and longitude

[Diane]

This has probably been adressed previously, but I cannot locate an answer. I tried to enter my latitude and longitude in the little boxes. They only accept 2 numbers/letters. Since my longitude is a -120 etc how do I enter that? I do not understand the instructions very well. Thank you for your help. A lot of this is way over my head and I will probably be asking a lot more questions if I cannot find a very simple answer in the FAQ. Many thanks.

You need to enter degrees, minutes, and seconds, and whether you are North or South of the equator, and East or West of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich). A longitude of -120 means you are West of the meridian, so you'll need to put W in Cumulus.

If you only have your co-ordinates in decimal degrees, you can convert them to DMS here: http://andrew.hedges.name/experiments/convert_lat_long/
