I would like to be able to enter latitude and Longitude locations in a work form to a location column. Currently it only allows you to enter addresses!!!
This already works. They need to be entered in decimal degrees, e.g., 35.0983, -96.102.

Hi Jeff & Jim,
While that indeed seems to work, what actually happens is that the coordinates you fill in will snap to the nearest road if you display this onto the map widget. This is because monday uses Google Maps autocomplete feature which always tries to find the nearest existing address to anything you fill in.
In our Location Importer app we’ve build in the functionality to recognize and process coordinates the correct way. If possible we’ll translate it into an address but if not, it will still point towards the correct coordinates when displayed on a map.
And as a bonus, using our Location Toolkit, you can extract extra information from those coordinates, such as city, state, country, etc.
Hope this helps,
Maarten
