Understanding Coordinates

Latitude and Longitude are a geographic coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers.

  • Latitude: Measures how far north or south you are from the Equator. It ranges from -90° at the South Pole to 90° at the North Pole.
  • Longitude: Measures how far east or west you are from the Prime Meridian (Greenwich, England). It ranges from -180° to 180°.
  • Decimal Degrees (DD): The modern standard used by Google Maps and digital GPS systems (e.g., 40.7128, -74.0060).
  • Degrees, Minutes, Seconds (DMS): The traditional format used in professional nautical and aviation navigation (e.g., 40° 42' 46" N).
