Ok.

So I am trying to make a decal out of this location:

Yet, when I enter the coordinates:

I get transfered to some place in China:

Your problem is really rather simple. You do not have Google Earth set to decimal degrees. To change that, you need to click on 'tools' and then 'options'. Once in the options window, set Google Earth to decimal degrees. (refer to the attached image) The coordinates you had, were in fact for a location in China. The proper coordinates for you should be just about here. Lat. 36.069118 Long. -79.787248

This should help! !!*ok*!! You appear to be making a route in Kentucky. Is this correct? If so, I do look forward to seeing your progress! Best of luck to you! !*cheers*!

Not Kentucky. *!mad!*

I am trying to make the Greensboro, NC Amtrak Station.

I did still give you what I believe are the proper coordinates. For some reason "Greensboro" sounded like that "other" state! *!greengrin!*
