Creating your own destinations
1. Open an empty document in an editor which can save the files in
UTF8 code (e.g. MS Notepad, Microsoft Word).
Note:
The following description is based on the use of MS Notepad as
editor. If a different editor is used, the saving of the file and its UTF-8
coding (point 4-9) may differ from this description.
2. For each destination create a data record (one line) with the
following form:
►
Longitude. Begin the entry with a minus sign if you want to
enter a western degree of longitude. The longitude must be
entered as a decimal number with a dot as the decimal sign.
►
Comma (as list separator)
►
Latitude. Begin the entry with a minus sign if you want to enter
a southern degree of latitude. The latitude must be entered as a
decimal number with a dot as the decimal sign.

are allowed. If the use of a comma is indispensable, precede it
