Yahoo! Maps allows use of longitude and latitude when searching for locations.

To find a location using longitude and latitude coordinates, simply put the coordinates in the Search Maps window, using the following format:

• Latitude comes first, followed by a comma, then a space, then the longitude.
  
  • Important Note: Yahoo! Maps uses the Decimal Format (DD.DDDD) when mapping locations by longitude and latitude. There is a third-party conversion utility available (in English) if you need help converting to this format.
• North and East coordinates are positive, South and West are negative.
• Note: Use the examples below in terms of how the degrees are measured. Here are coordinates of some familiar landmarks:
  • Statue of Liberty - New York City, NY (USA) = [40.689919, -74.044937]
  • Fisherman's Wharf - San Francisco, CA (USA) = [37.80566434630146, -122.41427063941956]
