Add a new location
LOK [latitude] [longitude] [new location name]
- NOTES
- This function is for defining POINTS in a desa, for example, farms, checkpoints, outbreak points, centre of dusus.
- This should be done:
- If there is no code for the Desa in the code list, or
- If the disease event is far from the centre of the Desa
- New location codes can be created to identify the exact location of certain points and buildings etc.
- To create a new location code, you need to know the coordinates of the location, using a GPS or GPS-enabled smartphone. The format of the coordinates should be latitude and longitude in decimal degrees, for example:
- -3.31932 112.39203
- Other formats (degrees minutes seconds, degrees decimal minutes etc) are not accepted.
- Use a minus sign for the latitude to indicate south, or no minus sign to indicate north.
- In the future, there will be a function on the website to update locations, change kecamaten and village ‘connections’ when areas are redistributed.
- Geographic coordinates can also be found using Google Maps.
