In the past Degrees/Minutes/Seconds was the accepted form of representation
for co-ords, on maps going in to a publication, but increasingly authors are
using decimal degrees. For myself - I know that I use decimal degrees
because it's what ArcView reads. Does anyone have any comments on this?
Is there any formal standardization?
Thanks.
