Description Sebastien Bacher 2008-11-19 15:02:04 UTC 
the bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288151

"When entering a custom location you have to specify its physical coordinates using latitude and longitude to get weather forecasts for example. The traditional units for these are degrees, minutes and seconds. Unfortunately this dialogue box only accepts degrees, and decimal fractions thereof.

For example, Castle Square in Swansea is 51° 37' 13" N 3° 56' 31" W. If you try to enter this you will get 51° N 3° W, which is somewhere in Somerset. Instead you have to enter something like 51.62028 N 3.94194 W."
Comment 1 André Klapper 2020-11-07 12:16:43 UTC 
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all
old feature requests in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you still use gnome-panel and if you are still requesting this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be implemented.
