<title id="titleGuideReferenceDecodeLatLong">Decoding Latitude and Longitude</title>
<para>This section is relevent to geocode searches and the map display of Geeqie.</para>
<para>
The result of some internet or other searches for placenames can contain a latitude and longitude embedded in a text string. For example an openstreetmap.org search can give a URL such as:
<para />
<code>https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=51.5542%2C-0.1816#map=12/51.5542/-0.1818</code>
</para>
<para>
If you paste such a string into the search box, the latitude/longitude can be automatically extracted and used as the origin of the search.
<para />
You may also drag-and-drop a URL of this type onto the map to cause the map to be re-centered.
<para />
This feature uses the file:
<para />
<code>/usr/local/lib/geeqie/geocode-parameters.awk</code>
<para />
You may create your own decodes by using the above file as an example, and storing the file in:
<para />
<code>~/.config/geeqie/applications/geocode-parameters.awk</code>
<para />
If a successful decode was not made from the first file, your local version will then be used.
</para>
