    While I know that we're not normally reporting coordinates errors, I believe that we should report mistaken coords for the Downtown Cleveland Historic District (Boundary Increase), which is listed as being at 2127537610°30′742170348748850″N 1799742532°58′30691836297216000″W: that's over two billion degrees and over seven hundred trillion seconds of latitude and nearly two billion degrees and thirty quadrillion seconds of longitude.

    {{coord|2127537610|30|742170348748850|N|1799742532|58|30691836297216000|W}} Wow, that has got to be a record! My mental compass is spinning out of control.... doncram (talk) 23:42, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    The first latitude converts to 2.08x10^11 degrees. Since a degree of latitude is about 60 nautical miles (1852 meters exactly), that's about 2.3x10^16 meters, about two and half light years, halfway to the nearest star other than Sol. Or, keeping things closer to home, a little less than 600 million times around the Earth. . . . . Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talkcontribs) 00:40, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
