Coordinates

For all procedure types, coordinates are specified using the following system: Coordinates systems page

Procedure API access

The API allows for programmable access to Procedures, enabling you to read, edit, and delete procedures through the API. Learn more about the procedures’ fields and data structure on the Procedure API page.
