I was trying to use the wap website on my cell phone and tried to search for a cache in the area I was in. I didn’t know the zip code so I wanted to search by entering the Coordinates. But… i couldn’t figure out how to enter Latitude (e.g. 47.12345) and Longitude (e.g. -122.12345).
What format is this? I tried a couple different formats on my GPSr, but with so many to choose from, I couldn’t figure it out.
Thanks

Positive Numbers are used for North/East…while Negative Numbers are used for South/West…thus, in this case we have North and West…
