How can I import latitude and longitude data into a database using Mysql Workbench?
Well, I couldn't figure out how to do it in Mysql Workbench, but I have a workaround.

Use:

mysqldump -u mysqlUser -p DatabaseName TableName &gt; table_data


To get data out of the table you want to use, then use:

mysql -u mysqlUser -p DatabaseName TableName &lt; table_data


To get the data into the desired table.  This will retain the correct values.
