GPS Reference

Understanding GPS coordinates.

Every point on Earth can be described by two numbers: latitude and longitude. Your device uses these to pinpoint your location on the planet.

Measures how far north or south you are from the Equator (0°). Ranges from 0° at the Equator to +90° at the North Pole and -90° at the South Pole.

Measures how far east or west you are from the Prime Meridian (0°), which runs through Greenwich, London. Ranges from -180° to +180°.

The simplest format: just degrees as decimal numbers. E.g., 40.7128° N, -74.0060° W. Used by most GPS devices and mapping APIs.

Degrees, Minutes, Seconds. E.g., 40° 42' 46" N, 74° 0' 22" W. More human-readable but harder to compute with.
