Jquery decimal mask for latitude

I want to put a decimal mask on a textbox. I want the for mat to be 999.99999 (three digits to the left of the '.' and 5 to the right.

I want to allow the negative sign '-' at the start

so we can input -245.45218 for example I tried using this:

 $("#latitude").decimalMask("999.99999");

But this does not allow the '-' sign to be placed at the begining

I also tried

$("#latitude").decimalMask("#999.99999");

But it is not working.

Any help is greatly appreciated

This plugin allows you to create your own mask element.. https://github.com/digitalBush/jquery.maskedinput

$.mask.definitions['~']='[-]?';
$("#latitude").mask("~999.99999");​
