How do you order Google Earth to go to a lat/long position?

Create a new Placemark and copy-paste these to the Location-tab under the Placemark's advanced options:

52° 4'43.37"N

4°19'58.00"E


I guess they have to be in that specific format for GE to understand it..

Looks just like a decimal Lat & Long rather than the traditional degrees, minutes and seconds.

Your lat & long translates to ....
52° 2' 39.6096" 4° 11' 44.8800"
