This page accepts a wide variety of latitude/longitude and position formats.

Value Description
Latitude Latitude of point.  Google Earth uses the WGS84 geodetic datum.  Valid formats include:
  N43°38'19.39"
  43°38'19.39"N
  43 38 19.39
  43.63871944444445

If expressed in decimal form, northern latitudes are positive, southern latitudes are negative.
Longitude Longitude of point.  Valid formats include:
  W116°14'28.86"
  116°14'28.86"W
  -116 14 28.86
  -116.2413513485235

If expressed in decimal form, eastern longitudes are positive, western longitudes are negative.
Position The position of the icon, in a number of formats: LatLon, UTM, UPS, MGRS, MGRS Polar, USNG (identical to MGRS), and Georef.

Used in place of Latitude and Longitude.

The following positions refer to 38° 57' 33.804" N, 95° 15' 55.739" W which is the default Google Earth starting point over Lawrence, Kansas, USA.

In the following table, "d" is used to mark degree digits, "m" for minutes, and "s" for seconds. For lat/lon, the letters "N, S, E, and W can come before or after the coordinates. So long as the coordinate can be understood, punctuation, spaces, and °'" are optional. Acceptable formats include:

UTM 15S 303705mE 4314711mN
MGRS, USNG 15SUD0370514711

Note that UTM position "15S" is in the Northern hemisphere.  Earth Point uses the convention that the UTM Band letters C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M are in the southern hemisphere and N, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, X are in the northern hemisphere.  UPS letters A, B, Y, Z are also supported.

Georef is specified to .01 minutes, which is a lower resolution than the other systems. Thus, Georef cannot plot the default Google Earth location exactly. The next two points are the same, but they are about 14 meters southeast of the points above.
