• It is now common place to write lat / lon coordinates in a “decimal minutes” format.

N 37° 22.5'

W 122° 15.75'

Units Matter

• It is important to include all of the units and notation.

• It’s N 37° 22' 30" W 122° 15' 45”Not 372230 1221545

• Correct coordinates are occasionally a matter of life and death.

• Don’t sacrifice clarity due to laziness!
