# GPS Coordinates

The GPS Coordinates tool allows you to precisely locate the map or building in the project on the globe. This is useful when exporting to some vendors (such as Meraki) which maps and sites on a global map, and use the coordinates to set the country code broadcasted by the access point, and for staying within the constraints of the regulatory domain.

GPS Coordinates are pasted into Hamina using [Decimal Degrees](https://gisgeography.com/decimal-degrees-dd-minutes-seconds-dms/).

Example: `60.56964307194884, 27.197952513543704`

## Placing GPS Coordinates

1. In [Google Maps](https://maps.google.com/), find a location that you can easily reference in both Google Maps and in Hamina Network Planner. Precisely right-click on the map, and click on the latitude and longitude item to copy them to your clipboard.\

2. In Hamina Network Planner, in the **Scale** group, select the **GPS coordinates** tool.

3. Click on the map to place the **GPS coordinate**, and paste the latitude and longitude into the **lat/long** field with <kbd>**Ctrl**</kbd> + <kbd>**V**</kbd> or <kbd>**⌘**</kbd> + <kbd>**V**</kbd>.\

4. Repeat steps 1-3. *<mark style="color:$primary;background-color:$primary;">Note: For AFC (Automatic Frequency Coordination) queries, at least two GPS coordinates are required. For exporting to Meraki, at least one GPS coordinate is necessary, but two or more are recommended.</mark>* [*<mark style="color:$primary;background-color:$primary;">Learn more about using GPS Coordinates in Meraki</mark>*](/hamina/live/cisco-meraki.md#gps-coordinates)*<mark style="color:$primary;background-color:$primary;">.</mark>*
