Longitude and Latitude for navigation and PT?

1 answer

Longitude and latitude are geographical coordinate systems used for navigation and pinpointing locations on the Earth's surface.

Longitude is the measurement of a location east or west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England. It is measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds from 0° at the Prime Meridian to 180°W or 180°E at the International Date Line.

Latitude is the measurement of a location north or south of the Equator. It is measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds from 0° at the Equator to 90°N at the North Pole and 90°S at the South Pole.

Longitude and latitude coordinates are commonly used in navigation systems, GPS devices, mapping applications, and public transportation routes to accurately determine and track locations.
