OK, now you have me curious. I went to MapQuest and clicked on
the Maps->Lat/Long and entered 53:30:20 and 113:30:24, it would
not let me enter the compass directions (ESWN). And when I
clicked to get the map, it gave me a blank page. So how do you
enter the "ESWN" compass directions?
I also tried entering an address, but could not find a way to
convert that to the Lat/Long coordinates. So where do I start to
pin-point where I am located? Just very curious now. Thanks.
