G.Earth should be able to understand this natively - go to Tools > Options and on the tab "3D View" you'll see the Lat/Long section where you can change to the Degrees, Minutes, Seconds which I believe is what you're looking for. Once that's done you should be able to paste this and it should work: 0°04'15.8"N 36°49'36.8"E But even without going to the settings when I paste this in the 'Fly To' box I can see it's a location just off the Nanyuki-Rumuruti road - or am I mistaken?

Thanks guys, The error I was making was when copying the above coordinates onto a notepad, it was not noticing the superscripts as whole numbers. (smiles sheepishly) Thanks again. On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 1:35 PM, McTim <mctim@bushnet.net> wrote:
