2) Specify the type of coordinates (default is Longitude / Latitude).
3) Type in the coordinates to be located (see example below).

Interpreting Coordinates:
When reading a coordinate from the GPS display or other source it is very important to know which format the GPS is displaying so that users can enter the numbers correctly into the coordinate locater shown above.

•Users can commonly enter longitude before latitude and can swap the location of these fields on the form using a setting in Workstation Settings
