Google Earth question

Recommended Posts

In Google Earth...

Can anyone tell me how to type the degree symbol if i want to type in a Lat/Long? I'm on a Mac if that matters.

I have to use Degrees/Minutes/Seconds as the format for some of the work I do so it's easiest for me to stick to using that format, hence the question.

Thanks!

If you're searching for a location, you can just leave spaces between. Them Google guys is smart; they knows what cha mean.

For instance;
33 48 17.6 n 117 55 26.3 w

Works just fine.

But to answer your question directly, on a Mac the Degree symbol is Option+Shift+8 as in 33°.
