How do I get a location from only coordinates in EPE?

Just paste the coordinates in the appropriate field and EPE will draw the map.

You can do a reverse lookup in EPE but that will only give you the City, State and zip code, Not the full address, the only thing it will do is show you the spot on the map. Hope this helps...

That's the trouble I was having. I would find the coordinates, but EPE was only placing the marker in the city. It wasn't landing exactly on the POI like I wanted.

EPE will place a marker on the map exactly on the spot of the coordinates you enter. After that if you see the coordinates are off a little from what you want then -

a) just right click the exact spot on the map that you actually want and select 'Place marker here'.

b) Click on the 'Grab' command box above the map and it will place the coordinates for the new spot you have selected in the Long / Lat boxes for you.

Are you sure your coordinates are correct?

EPE -82.22483 41.3774
Google Earth -82.132912 41.223923
This is for the Ohio turnpike at Vermillion Valley service plaza in Amherst.

The coordinates from EPE work in both EPE and Google Earth. The coordinates you got from Google Earth put me in a field in the middle of nowhere land. Check how you are getting Google Earth coordinates, something must be wrong.

I suspect you are confusing decimal degrees on EPE with degrees, minutes and seconds on Google earth. In other words -82.132912, 41.223923 is really -82 degrees 13 minutes 29.12 seconds, 41 degrees 22 minutes, 39.23 seconds.

The way I got the Google Earth Long/lat was to place a maker on the POI. Then click on it to get the coordinates. I see what you are saying alandb. The Google Earth are written 82degrees 1329.12, 41 degrees 2239.23.

The EPE coordinates certainly look a lot better to me. Using Google Maps I would put them at...

-82.226905,41.377861

I edited my earlier post ... Google coordinates are actually degrees, minutes and seconds (see edited post above). This will resolve to the same point (or very close) as the decimal degrees in EPE.

In Google Earth, from the menu select 'Tools > Options > 3D View > Show Lat/Long' and then select 'Decimal Degrees' so the format matches EPE.

Thanks. You summed up in one sentance what I was looking for.

i was a little confused about the cords, now i have my garmin 1350lm, google earth and EPE all the same thank for the info.
