lat and long

  I don't have the little degree circle on my keyboard. Is it ok to say 10 deg 26 ' N? Or is there a trick to make the degree mark?

  deg is fine. There are alternative keyboard layouts available, but is it worth it as long as what you put makes sense?

  you can copy and paste it from your word processor, too. I've been typing out the whole line and pasting the whole thing.
  saying deg never occurred to me. Simple and effective, and clear.

  Try shift-option-8 or shift-alt-8. That is, assuming you have a US language keyboard. If another language, change "8" to whatever key has the asterisk "*".

  MS Windows' Start / Programs / Accessories / Character Map
  tells me that Alt+0176 might work, but I think that requires a numeric keypad.
