I have always separated latitudes and longitudes with two dashes   --
in the 255

(E 22°--E 107°/N 75°--N 32°)

RDA on 7.4.2.3 Recording Longitude and Latitude

Separate the west and east coordinates with a *_hyphen_*and the north
and south coordinates with a hyphen. Do not use a space before or after
the hyphen. Separate the set of longitude coordinates from the set of
latitude coordinates by using a diagonal slash, with no space before or
after the slash.

Did this change?
