You can enable an option on your map layout to move all NE and router objects into positions on the map, based on each object’s stored system coordinates information (latitude/longitude).

GEO positioned NEs and routers appear with Lock badges on the icons. You must press Alt+Click to select and move GEO positioned objects. Regions containing GEO positioned objects are also flagged.

System coordinates string format

NE and router system coordinates information must be formatted in such a way that NSP recognizes it. The coordinates are configured as GPS latitude and longitude information, in a pair of four-dimensional vectors:

<direction hours minutes seconds>, <direction hours minutes seconds>

where direction is one of the four basic values: N, S, E, W, hours ranges from 0 to 180 (for latitude) and 0 to 90 for longitude, and minutes and seconds ranges from 0 to 60. W 122 56 89 is an example of longitude and N 85 66 43 is an example of latitude.

NSP recognizes system coordinates in the following formats:

• N 45 58 23, W 34 56 12​

• N45 58' 23 latitude, W34 56' 12 longitude​

• N45*58.23' W34*56.12'

• Decimal Degrees (DD) coordinates are supported in the following formats:

  • '-48.3537, -11.7750',

  • '(48.3537, -11.7750)'

  • (48.3537, -11.7750)

  • ('-48.3537, -11.7750')

  For signed notation (+/-), the range for Latitude is -180 to +180, and for Longitude is -90 to +90.
