    a simple question about Longitude/Latitude

    when using the internet site Maps of the world, street map search - powered by Multimap

    is it the first numbers or ones in the brackets i use?

    Lat:54:34:34N (54.57612) Lon:5:55:43W (-5.92863)

    Satellite Finder / Dish Pointing Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com this works the same

    Latitude: 52.5297?
    Longitude: -1.8551?

    is most common
