Please could somebody lookup this longitude and latitude and confirm its location, so I know I have the conversion right. Im looking at adding some local POIs to POIPlace and want to ensure Im not giving bum information.

Thanks in advance.

Longitude: 2.16722
Latitude: 53.41917

That's in the middle of nowhere . Unless you mean -2.16722, that is between Lloyd, Bardsley, Grafton and Samuel streets

So you are looking to convert from degrees, minutes, seconds to decimal degrees?

Don't forget that western longitudes are negative

Please could you tell me where the below points too - and also how you are finding out where it points too, so I can check myself in future.

Many thanks for your help. It is much appreciated.
