Describe format for spatial location

Spatial coordinates should be reported in decimal degrees format to at least 4 (preferably 5 or 6) significant digits past the decimal point. An accuracy of 1.11 meters at the equator is represented by +/- 0.00001. This does not include uncertainty introduced by a GPS instrument.

Provide latitude and longitude with south latitude and west longitude recorded as negative values, e.g., 80 30' 00" W longitude is -80.5000.
