FuzzyFez 0 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I'm trying to enter co-ordinates from Google Maps into Evernote, trouble is Google Maps is degress and minutes (which is what I would expect), but Evernote is in decimal format. If I transpose the exact same figures from Google, take out the degrees and minutes and replace with a decimal point I end up a few miles away. Is there a way (or formula) of converting degrees and minutes into decimal? Link to comment
Bartman001 14 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Go to Onlineconversion.com (then select mapping), they have a calculator to do just that. Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,149 Posted January 26, 2014 Level 5 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Go to Onlineconversion.com (then select mapping), they have a calculator to do just that. Wow! That is a great site. I used to rely on Google for my conversions.I saved Onlineconversion.com to my Evernote reference notebook. You can actually convert Kinematic Viscosity in centistokes to centimeters squared per day. Link to comment
FuzzyFez 0 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Good conversion tool, but 1) the description (of the co-ordinates doesn't change (in Evernote)), and 2) when I click on "view on Map", it opens up Google maps, which doesn't recognise the decimal notation; I just get a display of the USA!

Bartman001 14 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Maybe this will help. If I find a location in Google Maps that I want to add to a note.Right click on location (in google maps), select "whats here?". It will give Lat/Long, in decimal format, in the search bar.Copy it (ctrl c).Select the note in Evernote that I want to add a locationGo to "note info""click to set location"Select "enter manually"Paste coordinates (ctrl v)Hope that helps!
