Entering a location You can enter an image location with an address or coordinates.
Enter an address
Google does not specify syntax requirements when entering an address. It doesn't seem to matter whether you abbreviate (St vs. Street) or use commas. You will need to include either a state or zipcode.
Street-level geocoding is available for the US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Japan. More countries will be added as Google Maps launches in new countries.
To learn more about Google Maps, go to their Web site at: www.maps.google.com.
Enter coordinates
Note that you can also set coordinates visually like this:
- Add image to gallery
- Go to Step 2, Map tab
- Click View map button
- Navigate around the map to find area of interest
- Click on map to set a marker
- Click Apply to set the coordinates
- The coordinates are automatically entered in the wizard for you
If you know the latitude and longitude for the placemark you are editing, you can enter Latitude and Longitude values.
Latitude and Longitude can theoretically be expressed using 3 different notations:
- DDD - Decimal Degrees
- DMM - Degrees, Minutes with Decimal Seconds
- DMS - Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds
DDD notation, decimal precision is set in the degree coordinate. Use the minus sign (-) to indicate a westerly or southerly position. When you use this kind of notation, do not specify a letter symbol.
Additionally, you do not need to use a plus sign (+) to indicate northerly/easterly directions.
So, for example this is a valid entry: 37.251907, -122.050840
The following is NOT a valid entry: 37.251907N, -122.050840
Valid syntax is exemplified below. In case of Longitude, instead of “N”, “S”, use “E”, “W”.
