Using Latitude/Longitude Coordinates to enter a destination

I have been trying to figure out if it is possible to define a destination in Maps by lat./long. coordinates, which could be really useful in a number of situations, including two people with iphones trying to find each other. As far as I can tell, it is not possible but one person at an Apple Store suggested that I could download Google Earth and at least get a location on a map that I could then use in the Maps function.
1. Can you input lat./long. coordinates into Maps and, if not, is Apple working on it? I think it would be pretty easy to do.
2. Can you download Google Earth to a 3G?

1. You can enter lat/long coordinates in the map app, but you must convert degrees + minutes and seconds to decimal degrees. This is an easy to use converter: http://www.uky.edu/KGS/gis/converter.htm
2. Google Earth has an app for the iPhone. http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=293622097&mt=8

  • IPhoto 9.5 using latitude and longitude

    I am extremely frustrated with iPhoto's location function. I'm trying to geotag photos using latitude and longitude. iPhoto insists on trying to convert lat/long to an address that is inaccurate. When I try to reposition the pin point in the map it flies all over the place faster than I can control. When I try to delete the location that iPhoto has added, it refuses. When I turned off Automatic place lookup, the program won't allow me to enter address information at all.
    (After trying to use iPhoto's location function, I can't help but wonder if anyone at Apple has actually tried using it.)
    Is there a secret to getting iPhoto to accept lat/long inputs unaltered? Or should I just use Graphic Converter to geotag photos (which has a beautiful function - center Google Earth on the precise location and Graphic Convert imports the exact lat/long)?

    using Lat/long is easy as described in this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2381
    You also can use the paste location command if you have another photo in the place you want - copy that photo, select the remaining photos at tha location and paste location
    Graphic converter is an option
    HouDahGeo is another option that can safely deal directly with the iPhtoo library - http://houdah.com/houdahGeo/

  • Custom Map using latitude and longitude data points

    Hi,
    I am new to Apex and I want to lost custom data points using latitude and longitude data points. I
    have seen posts referring to the chart example (http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:65:2214483882702::NO:::) ; could someone help me with the following:

    2) What is a hidden item and how to add it to a page (step 6)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards,

    I am trying to do the same thing. I have got the get_data function working to create the desired output. However when I replace the xml <data> block with &P65_DATA, it does not work. If I display P65_DATA on the page, it has correct output. If I cut and paste the output into custom XML, it works fine. Anyone have come across this issue..any ideas how to fix it?

  • Converting from UTM meter to latitude,longitude in oracle

    I am trying to write a procedure which takes in utm data and converts to latitude,longitude
    mostly on the net i am getting some formulas for conversion with no proper explanation.
    Can any of you suggest any previously written oracle procedure or other help.
    UTM data is available in a column, i convert the data into lat,long and take the lat
    from easting in deg,minustes,seconds and likewise longitude from northing.
    there are some methods like using excel or in java, but i want to do it in Oracle.
    Please help as i am looking for suggestions and help.

    Hi,
    you should ask in the SPATIAL forum. This is a spatial conversion and Oracle has functions for these. In the SPATIAL forum there are the experts (I'm not).

  • Latitude-Longitude info for point layer

    Hi experts,
    In Oracle Spatial database I've layer of small towns and villages (SRID 8307), (loaded from ESRI shape files) and I need to perform search in this layer by latitude and longitude, specified by the user. I build WEB application based on OracleMaps. Could you prompt me in which way using latitude and longitude, specified by the user application could reflect nearest town/village ?
    THANK YOU in advance !

    Have a look at the SDO_NN Function.
    The function uses the spatial index to identify the nearest neighbors for a geometry.

  • CONVERTING X,Y TO LATITUDE,LONGITUDE VICE VERSA

    hi,
    i need formula for converting x,y coordinates to latitude ,longitude and vice versa,
    CAN ANYBODY HELP ME IN THIS?

    There is no standard formula for such conversions, as converting from one coordinate system to another is often a complex mathematical formula. What you need to do is track down (via the internet) the mathematical formula you require for your conversion and then apply that formula as SQL or PL/SQL code. You can pretty much do any mathematics in Oracle code, but firstly you need to know the maths required (and so would we if you expect us to help you).

  • SSIS File System Task does not allow entering the destination variable

    In SSIS for SQL Server 2012 (2014) I am not able to change the destination to a variable in the File System Task.  
    I have 2 variables for the source and destination path.  I pull in a File System Task, change the source to a variable, but when I select the destination I cannot enter the destination variable.  When I change destination to a variable
    the dialog disappears when I try to select the variable.

    Hi Steve,
    I have tried myself, it is working fine. Its look like something wrong with your visual studio. try to reinstall it or reset the visual studio.(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms247075(v=vs.100).aspx).
    If you really want to set destination values, you can set them from properties window of the task.(Right click the task and select properties or select the task and press f4).
    There are properties like:
    IsDestinationPathVariable (True/False)
    Destination (VariableName eg: user::target)

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.
    Let this be a very important lesson learned.
