help with trcking

I wonder if any of you good people could help me with something? I have printed a map for tracking the hurricanes/storms etc for 2005,i am a little confused as to the lat. and long. for example...Emily on the 10th of July was 10.8n and 42.9w. Then on the 11th July she was 11.3n and 47.0w. I put all the co-ordinates in and all i got was a few little boxes in pencil! Obviously i'm doing something wrong...shouldnt i have a straight track from n and varying w? Sorry if i seem a bit of a dunce, but i'm really really new to this!
Id appreciate any help. Thanks

Go here and you can match up what you have. Just click on Emily for current storm, let me know if this helped

Re: help with tracking

Thanks very much Tasmanian93 for the links...I think i get the idea, i was drawing a new line for every pair of co-ordinates instead of making "ups and downs" in my tracking line. Oh well, have to keep practising i s'pose, i'll get there! Once again thanks.

This is a nice little doohickey on the site. It uses Google's map service to chart the movement of storms.
