 ==== Input Conventions ====
-When the co-ordinates for a map or plan are given in terms of a centre point rather than outside limits, the longitude and latitude that form the central axes are each recorded twice, in subfields $d and $e (longitude) and subfields $f and $g (latitude).
+The co-ordinates for a place are given as a centre point. However, in compliance with the Unimarc Authorities format, a distinction between the westernmost and easternmost longitude and northernmost and southernmost latitude is made, when a record is rendered in the CT Internal Format. For editing it is sufficient to fill in subfields $d (longitude) and $f (latitude). Once a record is saved, subfields $e and $g, repeating the values given in $d and $f are added automatically.
+The order of subfields within this field doesn't matter. It might be most convenient to enter coordinates this way: \\ ''123 ##$fn0513202$de0095608''.
