I have these co-ordinates from a Land Drawing... can anyone tell me how to enter them in Google Earth to show the location of the lot?
Why funny? Very easy to put co ordinates into them most have a special function menu for such. Probably best left there
It's a string like this 59°26'8.83"N but you need to enter two co-ordinates one for latitude and one for longitude separated by a comma and I think just searched for in Google Earth Pro search box. I do not understand the table though.
I tried this... which worked: 59°0'0.0"N 0°26'0.0"E Trouble is, I end up in the North Sea... drilling for oil What they call vectors as I remember it / the bearing is the direction of the line and the second measurement is the length of the vector - if I can join em together I should come up with the perimeter of the lot ... maybe seaman's stuff I dunno !
If you see a surveyor at a Building site or at road works, ask him/her to explain it. You will see satnav equipment and tripods and people peering at their equipment. I used to work with surveyors many moons ago, I used to do my best to stop them fiddling with the electronic equipment which they thought they knew but didn't. It was often an ongoing battle. How to enter coordinates in Google Maps on a computer Go to maps.google.com. Type out the coordinates into the search bar — using either the degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS) format, the degrees and decimal minutes (DMM) format, or decimal degrees (DD) format — then hit enter or click on the search icon.
Well yes the co-ordinates did not look like Philippines numbers. I interpreted the co-ordinates as corners of a box but it looked like a feckin huge box which is why I didn't understand it.
Maybe a bit more information will assist: It's a Geodetic Engineer's sub-division plan: North, is marked on the right by the arrow N->S ... the plots are then described on the left starting with LOT 910-A-1, then LOT 910-A-2 etc. What I'm (currently) thinking is... the N59° 26' isn't a real world thing it just describes the bearing from the line N->S ? But then how do you map the plan/drawing back.... to the real world in Google Earth or Maps?
Tsk tsk ... easy once you know how... you can use the ruler in Google Earth... That reads 59N 19'E and 8.86 meters ... more or less 59 N 26' E @ 8.83M Still need a good reference point... but if I put the vectors in and then use the polygon tool I come up with the correct area!
