5. Do **not** enter a new site When plants (or seeds) are collected from multiple locations and then grown in the same location, this is called 'common garden experiment'. In this case, the location of the study is included as site information. Information about the seed source can be entered as a distinct cultivar.
## Site Location
If latitude and longitude coordinates are not available, it is often
possible to determine the site location based on the site name, city,
and other information. One way to do this would be to look up a location
name in [Google Maps](http://maps.google.com) and then locate it on the
embedded map. Google Maps can provide decimal degrees if the LatLng
feature is enabled, which can be done
[here](http://maps.google.com/maps?showlabs=1). Google Earth can be
particularly useful in locating sites, along with their coordinates and
elevation. Alternatively, the site website or address might be found
through an internet search (e.g. Google).
Use Table 2 to determine the number of significant digits to indicate the level
of precision with which a study location is known.
| Location Detail | Degree Accuracy |
|:----------------|-------------------------:|
| City | 0.1 |
| Mile | 0.01 |
| Acre | 0.001 |
| 10 Meters | 0.0001 |
