Longitude needs a minus in front of the number. Also, Google maps reads it in decimal points, so if you're inputting the degrees, minutes and seconds, it's not going to work, you have to convert to decimal. Download gps converter for free on the Google store. :cheers1:

Actually Google maps does read in degrees as well as decimal. It just needs to be in the correct format. For example take
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=2 width="100%" border=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD width="7%">33deg 27'40'N</TD> <TD width="7%">117deg 45'50'W</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
and input it into Google maps as
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=2 width="100%" border=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD width="7%"> 33 27'40"N, 117 45'50"W
and it works. You can use the degree ° sign instead of a space.
</TD> <TD width="7%"></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
