    Can anyone help me with these coordinates, they don't seem to follow a correct format. X : 140044.996 y: 42869.99824 I have a list of coordinates following this same format but I can't make sense of them,if anyone could help it'd be appreciated. Also can I input these coordinates into Google maps or is there another app I can use for directions?

    This website put those coordinates somewhere in the Arctic ocean! If you can convert the coordinates to a common format, then yes of course you can plug them in to Google Earth or Maps.

    Where are they supposed to be? Could they be Irish National Grid or some other coordinate system?

    Thats what they are exactly, I just looked them up on this website http://irish.gridreferencefinder.com/

    Thanks very much, i couldn't make head nor tail of them. Would there be any way of inputting these into a gps app for directions?
