Inputting Location - Longitude/Latitude

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

It looks like that AFTER you have input it in Decimal format.

Find your address in Google Maps and input it as two decimal values i.e. lat 51.203056 and long -2.983987 in my case and when it is saved it will show as per Mapantz's picture.
