Does anyone know how to read GPS coordinates? I got a hold of a book that has coordinates for ghost towns in my area. I understand the latitude longitude part. But Google Earth uses minutes and seconds while my book only gives you minutes. For example: Latitude N48 06.108'...How do you break that down into seconds also? Googles format is 6' 00.00". Hope someone here is a brainiac 'cause I'm about to have a meltdown. And I bet it's easier than I'm thinking..ugh!

MaccyD - It's easy if you know! Degrees of latitude and longitude are broken down into degrees and minutes, there being 60 minutes in a degree. Likewise minutes are broken down into minutes and seconds, there being 60 seconds in a minute. It can become slightly confusing when the minutes are sometimes referred to as minutes and decimals and sometimes as minutes and seconds. However, as a minute of latitude is a mile unless you're working to tight margins it's not too important.
60 degrees 40.5 minutes = 60 degrees 40 minutes 30 seconds.
Hope this helps.

You mean he's a hermaphrodite? 80....lol !
Cappy...as it turns out, all I had to do was type in the GPS coordinates from my book into the Google Earth search bar, and it will fly right to that spot. And the equivalent of those numbers are at the bottom of the screen in minutes and seconds. As usual I was frying my brain by thinking too hard about it.

Witches aren't scary, just different. They have a lot of the same beliefs as the Native Americans...but I could never join a coven. It gets to weird for me when they talk about certain things, but I've had that same to weird feeling with all churches. Witches are pretty cool for the most part though - just different.
We could just stay Satch ho's. lol!
