I mean geographical coordinates.

Maybe something like this:

ma tedyjudri do .i mi se tedyjudri li -34.5986 pi'e -58.3715

or:

mi se nanjudri li 34 pi'e 35 pi'e 55 gi'e se sicyjudri li 58 pi'e 22 pi'e 17.5

mu'o mi'e xorxes

The final version 'must' have the digits 1, 56, 4.8, then 73, 32, 23.2, and some direct indications of N and E. No conversion to decimal or whatever the second version xorxes gave is acceptable. The only questions are what the separators are and the actual form used for the indication of degrees, minutes, and second, and the direction indicators.

Not sure about two "pi" in one number. The first is a sexagesimal point; the
second is a decimal point in the last sexagesimal digit. The other directions
are N for south and V for west (initials of be'a, du'a, ne'u, vu'a).

    Morpheme, Xorxes wasn't specifically referencing the coordinates in the title  He was just giving a generic sample, of 34°35'55"S 58°22'17.5" W.  (Buenos Aires) and it was fine both ways....
