New in 2021 are fields for the latitude and logitude (WGS84 - the same as your GPS displays). These should be entred 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. +

In previous decades the location of an entrance was the output of a whole lot of surveying and position fixing (e.g. see laser points). Today, the location of an entrance is available by GPS at the beginning of the process. So we have these fields to record the data.
