Google Map and Coords - not accurate

I’ve tried using a postcode but it’s about 6 miles away. So I grabbed the Longitude and Latitude from Google but FWP doesn’t understand 52°22’59.39"N and 0°46’51.39"W due to non numeric characters. I’ve tried a few combinations of these numbers without ° ’ " N and W but no good. I also tried 52.2259 and 0.465139 and that didn’t work.

What’s the secret?

Google expects a latitude and longitude to be in their GlatLng
format. You can create one here:

Enter an address and press “map this address”. The new page will have
the address, with the precise code to specify a google GLatLng below it.

Walt, there is definately something weird goin on with the ordering of threads. This thread has not had any new posts (at least there aren’t any visible at my end) and yet it is at the top of my list. What gives?
