Su- I had a bit of trouble with this recently figuring out
what google earth would accept.
note about Google Map; they'll take the decimal degrees form, but
beware of the convention they use for East/West longitude: West
longitudes are expressed as a negative number (as opposed to the
frequently used opposite);
West as positive is "frequently" used only by people in the US who like
to *ignore* standards and are to lazy to include the negative sign.
Which makes both lat and long positive in all but a few of the Aleutian
Islands.
