Coordinates Bolnes [28 August 2013]
In Werelate.org I have given the coordinates of Bolnes 51.888 N and 4.592 E.
In the map showing in Werelate.org this is correct.
However in Wikipedia NL and at Getty it shows 51.54 N and 4.35 E.
At these two wedsites this is correct.
However when using these coordinates in Werelate.org I end up neerly 40 km south of the correct place.
Can someone explain this to me?????

- I believe it is due to the difference between degree (51° 53′ 45″ N, 4° 34′ 38″ E) and decimal notation (51.895833, 4.577222). Either version can be entered on WR, but 51.54N 4.35E is not the same as the degree notation that Wikipedia displays. If you click on the coordinates on WP, it will bring you to the GeoHack site where both versions appear at the top of the page. On another note, since you were the only watcher of this page the chance of someone seeing your message was slight. If you have general questions about using WeRelate, it's better to post on the Support page. --Jennifer (JBS66) 17:58, 28 August 2013 (EDT)
