# SET-POSITION The DVL can accept inputs of its current latitude and longitude in several formats. If you are typing by hand, the SET-POSITION should be used (vs. trying to type in a $GPRMC message by hand). The DVL recognizes Decimal Degree (DD) format, Degree Decimal Minute (DDM) format, and Degree Minute Second (DMS) format. DD is used when you have lat/long in positive and negative degrees, such as what Google Maps shows. DDM format is used by many marine GPS systems. Examples: DD format: SET-POSITION 44.968876,-93.517246 DDM format: SET-POSITION 44 58.13256 N, 93 31.03476 W DMS format: SET-POSITION 44 58 20N, 93 31 03W --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.ceruleansonar.com/c/tracker-650/communicating-with-the-tracker-650/commands-accepted-by-the-tracker-650/set-position.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
