Unable to import CSV with decimal degrees lat/long data into Google Earth

Question

Degrees Minutes Seconds works:

code,latitude,longitude,feature1
point1,45 12 5.3634,25 38 6.6444,3

Decimal Degrees doesn't work:

code,latitude,longitude,feature1
point1,45.2014897,25.6351792,3

Any chance of being able to use decimal degrees without having to convert all my data?

Answer 1

When you import csv file, Google Earth asks you about the columns of the coordinates. Then it asks you about the format of all the columns/fields of your csv file. For your coordinates select text format. This is the solution.
