Inputing coordinates (lat/lng) is reversed when using web UI. For instance:

21.321467 -157.723083 is a valid location, as seen here:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=21.321467%20%2D157.723083

When inputting the same coordinates into a table, the marker is shown to be off the coast of Africa, meaning that the coordinates have to be reversed in order to show up in the right place.

It's a minor error but when google maps and other gps coordinates are standardized to be lat/lng instead of lng/lat, it's a bit frustrating when importing things by hand.
