FuzzyFez 0 Posted January 26, 2014 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?
Bartman001 14 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Go to Onlineconversion.com (then select mapping), they have a calculator to do just that.

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.
FuzzyFez 0 Posted January 26, 2014 Author 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 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!
