Geographic Coordinates* - You can obtain coordinates for your observation by pinpointing the location with Cornell's plotting tool on our Atlas website or by using Google Earth and positioning your cursor over the location. In addition, more recent editions of the DeLorme Gazetteer have GPS gridlines which will enable you to estimate approximate geographic coordinates of your observation. If you are using a GPS unit, please submit latitude and longitude coordinates using map datum NAD 83. Also, be sure to set your GPS unit to record coordinates in decimal degree format (e.g., 39.1667° N, 82.5833° W). If your GPS unit was not set to record coordinates in decimal degrees, convert your current reading to the correct degree.
