Note re Versions 13.1.0.1a / 13.0.0.9
The original file lat-long_nsew_v13.0.0.9.zip uploaded on 3rd Nov 2021 had changes for TNG v13.1, but was not compatible with TNG v13.0.x . That has been resolved and new files uploaded for both. |

Purpose of the mod
This Mod shows Latitude / Longitude N S E W. You need to be using degrees eg: -41.327312, 174.807598 (Wellington (NZ) International Airport Co-ordinates) when entering geolocation info for places, cemeteries, plots etc. Mod will show 41.327312 S, 174.807598 W. It does not alter anything in the Admin Editing Screens.
Mod DOES NOT determine if any data entries for Latitude/Longitude are correctly entered, it ONLY works with degrees as explained above.

My MOST humble THANKS to Michel Kirsch for his expertise and coding changes to resolve clashes with this v14.0 Mod and Hide Google Earth Links, also a more efficient code structure. Merci beaucoup
Future possible Updates
I would like to look at including an option to use North, South, East, West, instead of N, S, E, W. Would appreciate feedback via the TNG Forum if you are interested.
