MapPoint 2000: Unable to Import Latitude and Longitude Data from Text File (231508)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q231508 SYMPTOMS
When you import latitude and longitude data from a tab delimited text file
into Microsoft MapPoint 2000, the imported data file may be empty.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you enter the latitude and longitude data in
degrees, minutes, and seconds. MapPoint 2000 only recognizes latitude and
longitude data entered in decimal degrees.
RESOLUTION
To prevent this issue from occurring, enter latitude and longitude data in
decimal degrees before you import the data into MapPoint 2000, as shown in
the following table.
NOTE: Leading zeros on a latitude or longitude decimal number is not recognized as a valid format. If you continue to have problems importing, double check your numbers and remove any leading zeros.
