How do you search Location using coordinates in Google Earth?

In the search/fly-to panel in addition to addresses you can enter latitude/longitude coordinates to fly-to that location but it must be one of the supported formats:

1. Latitude, Longitude in decimal format:
e.g., 37.7, -122.2

Note that such coodinates must appear in this order (latitude, longitude).

2. Latitude, Longitude in DMS format:
37 25'19.07"N, 122 05'06.24"W or
37 25 19.07 N, 122 05 06.24 W

Note that format 37d25'19.07"N, 122d05'06.24"W does NOT work with Google Earth

Sometimes the lookup gets confused so in that case try adding "loc:" before the coordinates such as in:
loc: 43° 14′ 0″ N, 109° 39′ 41″ W

In most cases you can use the same query search in Google Earth as you use in Google Maps.
