Answer #1

professor clawjaw here:

There are several formats for writing degrees, all of them appearing in the same Lat, Long order.

DMS Degrees:Minutes:Seconds (49°30’00”N, 123°30’00”W) DM Degrees:Decimal Minutes (49°30.0’, -123°30.0’), (49d30.0m,-123d30.0’) DD Decimal Degrees (49.5000°,-123.5000°), generally with 4-6 decimal numbers.

oh alright I didnt right it, I admit :( I got that from wiki

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate_system#Latitude_and_longitude

I know a small ammount when it comes to numbers but these are just crazy numbers :o

Answer #2

Latitude runs parallel to the equator, and longitude runs parallel to the prime meridian.

This site might help you figure out how to measure those: http://www.maptools.com/UsingLatLon/plotting.html
