< p > New in 2021 are fields for the latitude and logitude (WGS84 - the same as your GPS displays). These should be entered in degrees with decimals for fractions of a degree, e.g. 42.357 (not 42 degress 21 minutes 25 seconds, or 42 degrees 21.42 minutes).

< p > In previous decades the location of an entrance was the < em > output< / em > of a whole lot of surveying and position fixing (e.g. see < a href = "lasers.htm" > laser points< / a > ). Today, the location of an entrance is available by GPS at the < em > beginning< / em > of the process. So we have these fields to record the data. [We don't yet have the code to automatically add these to the < var > essentials.gpx< / var > download to be used for prospecting though.]
