=====How do I add my latitude and longitude to my profile?=====

  * Click on your callsign top right.
  * Click on "Profile"
  * Near the bottom of the page on the left hand side you will see two fields called "Latitude" and "Longitude"

===Setting Latitude and Longitude===
Your lat/long must be in decimal format.

An example for the southern hemisphere would be: lat -33.785780 long 150.693160\
Notice the minus sign in the latitude which is only for stations in the southern hemisphere.
VKSpotter will only take 6 decimal places. If you enter more than that, you will see an error when you click the Update Profile button.

A site for obtaining, and the conversion of lat/long from different formats to decimal format would be [[http://www.latlong.net|www.latlong.net]] or this site [[https://www.egloff.eu/googlemap_v3/carto.php|https://www.egloff.eu/googlemap_v3/carto.php]]

Enter the lat and long in the appropriate fields and click the "Update Profile" button.
The lat long will only accept 6 decimal places. If you enter more than that you will receive an error.

You will need to logout and log back in after changing and saving your lat/long.
