How many of you are using decimal degrees as coordinates instead of degrees, minutes, and seconds? We are migrating our map cataloging records from a locally designed database to MARC format cataloging. I am planning to convert all records with degrees, minutes, and seconds to decimal degrees. Is it necessary to have both 034 and 255 fields in the cataloging record?

Any comments and suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,
