Notes

Purpose of the mod

This Mod shows Latitude / Longitude N S E W. You need to be using degrees eg: -41.327312, 174.807598 (Wellington (NZ) International Airport Co-ordinates) when entering geolocation info for places, cemeteries, plots etc. Mod will show 41.327312° S, 174.807598° W. It does not alter anything in the Admin Editing Screens.
Mod DOES NOT determine if any data entries for Latitude/Longitude are correctly entered, it ONLY works with degrees as explained above.
