Some time ago, I started to add maps to the Town Guard pages to show where the town was located.

For example: Kuruman: angloboerwar.com/unit-information/town-g...ntg?showall=&start=1

I only completed one third of the work and now want to finish it off. I would like to ask if anyone could help me by entering the latitude and longitude into a spreadsheet I have created.

The steps needed to find the co-ordinates and copy them into the Excel document are contained in the document. It entails using a website to generate the co-ordinates eg www.gps-coordinates.net/ , entering the place name eg Aberdeen, South Africa, verifying the location is correct and then copying and pasting the co-ordinates into the attached Excel document.

That would be really helpful if anyone could help me.

A pleasure to give a hand - take it that the list attached is all the TG's in WO100 archives?

Mike, I understand the problems and hope you are able to sort out the issues and not lose any data.

Amb, thank you for your. The spreadsheet I attached contains 75 TG units. There are 123 listed in total but some of these already have their co-ordinated used in the maps on their page.
