{{< dwc-term id="geodeticDatum" verbatim="Datum" descr="The geographic system that was used to get the coordinates. This field autofills when using [http://www.museum.tulane.edu/geolocate/|GeoLocate] or the Mapping tool for georeferencing." ex="NAD27, NAD83, WGS84" dwc="geodeticDatum" >}}

<a id="verbatimCoordinates"><b>Verbatim Coordinates:</b></a> If the coordinates recorded on the specimen label are in a format other than decimal degrees, enter them here. When decimal lat/long fields are blank and one enters UTM or DMS using one of the formats displayed in the example below, decimal lat/long values will be automatically generated. Click the "&lt;&lt;" symbol to replace existing decimal values. This field autofills when using the DMS, UTM, and TRS georeferencing tools.<br>
<a id="verbatimCoordinates"><b>Verbatim Coordinates:</b></a> Enter coordinate vlaues here from the specimen label if they are in a format other than decimal degrees. If your coordinates are in "degrees, minutes, seconds", "UTM", or "township-range-section" (TRS) format, click the "F" button to view the formatting tools. Fill in the appropriate box with the coordinates on your label and click the Insert Values button. Valid values in "degrees-minutes-seconds" or "UTM" formats will be automatically converted into decimal latitude and longitude values. If a value has previously been entered into the Verbatim Coordinates field, you can try to click the double arrows ("&lt;&lt;") to the left of this field to try to auto-convert them into decimal latitude and longitude. Township-range-section coordinates cannot be automatically converted in the data entry form, but they may be converted into an appropriate georeference using the GEOLocate tool.
