 +===== How to search a place from its coordinates? =====
 +\\
 +To find a location from its coordinates:
 +  * In the ''"**Search a location**"'' panel, click on the current ''"**Search format**"'' {{:icon_01.png?nolink}};
 +  * Choose the coordinate format you need to search, for example ''"**Lat/Long (Deg)**"'' {{:icon_02.png?nolink}} to search for a WGS84 (GPS) latitude and longitude in the decimal degrees format;
 +  * If your format is not listed, click on ''"**More...**"'' {{:icon_03.png?nolink}} to display more coordinate formats;
 +  * If you still can't find your format, click on ''"**Import...**"'' {{:icon_04.png?nolink}} to import it from [[http://www.spatialreference.org]];
 +  * Fill the coordinates components {{:icon_05.png?nolink}}, like the latitude, the longitude and cardinal sectors (components depends on the chosen format);
 +  * If you need to past coordinates copied from somewhere else, click on ''"**Single field**"'' {{:icon_06.png?nolink}} to get a single text field in which you'll be able to paste your coordinates;
 +  * Click on "Search" {{:icon_07.png?nolink}} to start the search.
