Coordinates may also be entered directly into the Search field. They should be entered as decimal degrees, latitude first and then longitude, with positive numbers representing north and east of the Equator or Prime Meridian and negative numbers representing south and west. After coordinates have been entered in the Search field, the same pop-up dialogue appears on the map requesting a distance (circle radius) for the search.<br> | |||
Once a distance has been set, the resulting circle appears on the map. The size of the circle can be adjusted dynamically (with a mouse or touch-screen device) by “grabbing” any of the four white dots and expanding or shrinking the circle to the desired size.<br> | |||

Any results of an initial search query that have additional places described within them (i.e. a cemetery described within a town) will include a box that says, “Places in this [place type].” Clicking on this text will change the results list to show only places described within the place in question.<br> | |||
