Good Morning

I have been scouring the tinterweb for a while now looking for a post which may offer me the right guidance, but to no avail.

I have an excel workbook which holds a database of latitudes and longitudes around the world. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to have these points populate a world map?

the Lat and long format is as follows:
57N 52.194005W 39.756
57N 50.915005W 39.747
57N 49.644005W 35.265

</tbody>

TIA

Steve

you could use a scatter-graph with a world map as background of the graph
x/y-coords are degrees + minutes / 60
