Auto completion of location names will make this easier when you frequently dive at the same sites. *Coordinates*: The geographic coordinates of the dive site should be entered here. These can come from three sources: a. You can enter the coordinates by hand if you happen to know what they are. You need to enter them as decimal degrees, e.g: N30° 13.49760', E30° 49.30788'. -b.
