 Geographic coordinates WKT format In Method 3 above, the recommended format for handling coordinates is the OGC Well-Known-Text format (WKT). Whatever the geometric shape, WKT provides a simple string representation of the geometry. In that way, a single column is... More

 Use of Degrees-Minutes-Seconds (DMS) In the case of handling geographic coordinates in official reports and publications, the geographic coordinates can be enumerated using the Degrees-Minutes-Seconds (DMS) notation. This notation is generally used in the legal context where the DMS appears to... More
