How do you handle GPS coordinates in MS Access?

5
Can you please explain to me whether I must use a text field for GPS coordinates or is there another way of doing it? Can I just store the number in the text field and then display it on a form by breaking it down or what is the best way?

Did you do a little testing? What have you tried so far?

What do you plan on doing with the coordinates? If you plan on doing arithmetic, I think text won't work.
