Finding Coordinates
Do you not know how to find coordinates for an object? This should help:
- Understand that for coordinates in North America, longitude should generally be between -130 and -60 and latitude should generally be between 50 and 20
- Use a search engine to find the coordinates. For example, "Boca Raton Community High School coordinates".
- Get the coordinates from a search result.
- Make sure longitude (the bigger number) is negative and latitude (the smaller number) is positive
- Discard anything regarding "N", "E", "S", "W" and make sure your coordinates are simply a decimal number (no ', ", or ° characters)
