The latitude always begins
with + or -. You can use the entry from Astrometrica's settings or enter a
correct decimal number between -90.000000 and +90.000000. Please enter positive
longitudes as a decimal number without a sign, negative longitudes with a sign
-. After entering the longitude, the street map is displayed on the right using API access. You can check the correct position again.
Why is the free API key
required for IP geolocation?
Every Neo Planner user has to
request their own API key. Create an account and include your API Key:
Pressing the Login IP Geolocation button takes
you to the website
