Thanks
Can I ask you a question? No fighting I promise.
Sure, I'll answer it if I can.
Never mind it was leo. Leo listed the answers they had and I was just curious about #29. What other coordinates can you use (besides long. & lat.) when you are talking about the planet? It just confused me, but then again I get confused easily.
Seriously though, I don't understand. I like to learn so what is it I am missing?
TTH, I think that all coordinates are given in latitudes and longitudes (N,S,E and W) there are various ways to write them down the most common being in degrees, minutes and seconds. 110D 42M 16S
For GPS coordinates this would be 110D 42.27M
and for decimal degrees it is 110.70D. I hope this answers your question. If anyone can add to this, or correct it, please jump in.
