DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Co-ordinates
Latitude and Longitude
Latitude and longitude denotes a position as up to 90
degrees for North and South of the equator (up to the
poles, which are 90 degrees North and 90 degrees
South; the equator is 0 degrees) for latitude and up to
180 degrees East and West of the prime meridian,
which is 0 degrees longitude. The prime meridian
passes through Greenwich, England. Each degree of
latitude and longitude can be divided into 60 minutes
(60’). Each minute of latitude and longitude can be
divided into 60 seconds (60’’). It is also possible to
express each minute as decimals. Therefore it will be
possible to display latitude and longitude in two
formats:
1. DD˚MM.MM
2. DD˚MM’SS’’
Where D represents the degrees, M represents the
minutes and S represents the seconds.
Within the co-ordinate entry and edit text screens the
following sections of the co-ordinates are entered or
edited in blocks.
For DD˚MM.MM
1. DD Degrees North
2. MM Minutes North
3. MM Decimal Minutes North
4. DD Degrees East
5. MM Minutes East
6. MM Decimal Minutes East
For DD˚MM’SS’’
