What is the correct way(s) to display latitude and longitude in writing? Thanks.?

First of all, latitude first, then longitude.\n\nThere are TWO common ways:\n\nUse the numer of degrees followed by N(orth) or S(outh),\nthen the numer of degrees followed by E(ast) or W(est).\n\nEx) 30*N, 90*W\n\nUse only the number of degrees (positive for North-negative for South), followed by the number of degrees (positive for East-negative for West)\n\nEx) 30*, -90*

Latitude: 47.64709  North\nLongitude:   122.33396 West

write the equation of the distance from a point to the center,\nthat way it should work\nalso writing in english might get you more answers\ns

The year's date reads the same when turned upside down. That will not happen again until 6009.\n\nThough thats only if you write it.  You can print out this page and turn it upside down and you'll end up with l96l

It's so that the person you are talking to knows what you are talking about.\n\nWhat would the alternative be? "Twelve and seven hundred and eighty-nine thousandths?" That's a bit cumbersome.\n\nThe decimal point *creates* a division between the numbers, so we need to replicate that division by saying "point." It just makes sense.

The way the stick points to is always North.  Aline your compass so that the "N" (or North) is pointing there, and you know where East, West and South is now.  Along with all the little things inbetween.  :)

Most land navigation activities focus on a very small portion of the globe at any one time. Typically the area of interest to an outdoorsman is less than 20 miles on a side. This focus on a small area allows us to abbreviate UTM coordinates.\n\nThe zone information and the digits representing 1,000,000m, and 100,000m are dropped. The 1m, 10m and 100m digits are used only to the extent of accuracy desired.\n\nA GPS unit might read\n\n10 S 0559741\n    4282182\n\nUsing a notation similar to the one found on a USGS topographic map, this would be written as:\n\nZone 10 S 559741 mE. 4282182 mN.\n\nAn abbreviated format for the same coordinates would look like:\n\n 59 82 \n  Describes a 1000m by 1000m square. \n \n597 821\n  Describes a 100m by 100m square. \n \n5974 8218\n  Describes a 10m by 10m square. \n \n59741 82182\n  Describes a 1m by 1m square. \n\n\nThe 100m abbreviated format, 597 821, and the 10m abbreviated format, 5974 8218, are the most commonly used.\n\nNotice that the easting is reported first, followed by the northing. Remember the phrase "read right up" to help you remember to read the easting from left to right, followed by the northing from the bottom up.\n\nAlso notice that when you abbreviate coordinates you should not do any rounding. 0559651 becomes 596 not 597. This ensures that your position is still within the reported square. As accuracy decreases, the square gets bigger. \n\nI hope this is what you are looking for.

This process of converting an address into lat/lon is called 'geocoding' in the world of geography. There are many on-line and stand-alone tools that will help you accomplish this. Most of them will cost you.\n\nTeleatlas runs a web site at\n\nhttp://www.geocode.com/\n\nthat is generally recognized to be among the best, because they have really good, detailed, frequently updated address and streets information for many cities and locales throughout the world. The prices they charge are reasonable, but are most likely a waste, if you just need the coordinates for recreational use. If you're in the US, I suggest a free on-line tool:\n\nhttp://geocoder.us/\n\nJust enter your address in the box provided and voila! you get coordinates. This site uses the US Census address and street information to get the lat/lon of the address you enter. The coordinates that are returned should be in the middle of the street in front of your house, if your street is coded in the system correctly, which is not always the case with Census data. But, hey, it's free...\n\nHappy Geocoding!

Simplest way of doin this on MS Word is type "220f" and then Alt X.. this will insert Pi symbol on your screen. Hope this helped .....

Like this:\n\nConsole.Write( "This " );\nConsole.Write( "is on a single line." )\n\nConsole.WriteLine( "" );\nConsole.WriteLine( "This is on a different line" );\nConsole.WriteLine( "This is too!" );

Google maps. Just enter the lat-long in the search bar. Note you don't need to enter the degree, minute or seconds mark, just use spaces.

They are both methods of locating points on a map.  They are both global.\n\nThe advantage of a grid reference is that, once everyone knows what map you are on, you can locate a point with reasonable accuracy by using 6 figures.  To use lat/long to achieve that level of accuracy would take many more figures.\n\nIn other word, lat/long is global.  Grid is generally limited to one map sheet.

what are you trying to set the location of? if a control then u can just use the mouse to drag it, lol (@ least in my version), but also check in the properties section of the object. My vb has location as a collapsible list (under properties). Expand "location" and I get places for X and Y coordinates on the grid of the form. hope i helped. BTW i use Visual Basic 2005

h.ttp://map.yahoo.co.jp/pl?nl=21.43.28.074&el=1125.30.44.371\n\nWhen you put in your zip code, yahoo finds the longitude n latitudes and hides them in the next page(with the result);\ntherefore to achieve what you want, you can make code to parse the RESULT's page for the nl and el and then send them to the header.You can use the code below if you have php installed in your servers.\nIf you want to see it working, mail me.\n<?php\nob_start();\nif(isset($postcode)){\n$da=fopen("http://search.map.yahoo.co.jp/search?p=$postcode&ken_name=&kind_name=%CD%B9%CA%D8%C8%D6%B9%E6","r");\n$da=fread($da,3000);\n$url="http://map.yahoo.co.jp/pl?";\n$dak=strpos($da,$url,filesize($url));\n$dan=strpos($da,"&el=");\n$da=substr($da,$dak,58);\nheader("location:$da");\n}\nob_end_flush();\n?>\nPS:Don know about the legality of this/ yahoo JAPAN can easily block your server from parsin its pages.

The use of the symbol "/" is merely a convention.  In Europe they mean day/month/year, but in the United States they mean month/day/year.  Neither convention is the "right" one.  You just have to learn the language, or give the date in a different way.

It might be appropriate to use one on a page that zooms a map, but probably not on a regular menu bar.  Think about the rest yourself and the amount of resources it consumes.  Also if there are other ways to accomplish the same clearly with less resources.  Hope this will help.

Assuming your point of origin has the coordinates of y latitude N/S and x Longitude E/W, the opposite point would be y latitude S/N (The opposite direction. If origin is north, then the opposite would be the same value south.) The Longitude is figured by subtracting 180 degrees from the origin's value, and drop the minus sign, then changing the direction from east to west, or west to east.\n\nIf this does not make sense, post a detail, and I will try to clarify.
