So, I have a couple latitudes and longitudes that I need to verify but the keyboard on my iPhone doesn’t seem to have a ‘degree’ sign so I’m unable to type the latitudes and longitudes into my search bar. How might I come across a ‘degree’ symbol? I’m sure one of you genii (plural of genius?) can help me.
Thanks in advance, Y’all.....

Tap and hold the "zero" key on the key board -- this should give you a pop up that has the degree symbol.

You can have mine, your welcome
It works!
Many thanks, Young Stud. You da man....
i mean, I’ve just gotta find this location - it’s where I stashed all my leprechaun gold...... :
Enter it like this.
46.16354, -123.8934
When it would be normally written like this.
N 46.16354 W -123.8934
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
I used to do this all the time to look at microwave radio paths to look for bodies of water, irrigated fields, or obvious obstructions that would cause problems.

So, what if the coordinates you want to verify are written like this:
48°42’35” N, -122°44’48” W
Would I have to convert somehow?

The second coordinate im trying to convert is
-122°45’48” but the answer I get is -48”/3600 which doesn’t seem to work.

For IOS:
In the search box at the top, type your coordinates. Here are examples of formats that work:
41°24'12.2"N 2°10'26.5"E
