Using GRAMPS: AIO64-5.1.4-1 on Windows 10.  
I have just installed the latest version of Gramps. When I paste map co-ordinates from Google maps in lattitude and longitude format it reverses the longitude and lattitude to the wrong fields. That is Lattitude is transferred to the longitude field and Longitude is transferred to the Lattitude field.

There’s a thread from a couple months ago about this. It includes details about a resolving it with a patch.

See [5.1.4 bug in GPS location dialog](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/5-1-4-bug-in-gps-location-dialog/1731)

> The Lat/Long swapping fix has been added to the Gramps 5.1.5 roadmap.

Thanks. I searched for Map, Co-ordinates and Lattitude. Didn’t think of GPS Location.
