Geographic Coordinate System Coordinate format and notation Laëtitia Beschus – May 2014

Coordinate System Coordinate system is a reference system that enables every location on the earth to be specified by a set of coordinates of known location on a grid. Geographic coordinate System Universal Transverse Mercator System (with zones from 1 to 60 for “longitude” and zones C to X for “latitude”) Universal Polar Stereographic System (for polar regions not cover by the UTM system)

Latitude Longitude + - + - (60 parallels) (360 meridians) A point is referenced by its latitude and longitude values. Latitude (60 parallels) Longitude (360 meridians) Prime Meridian Greenwich Meridian + - + Equator -

P A Point A is situated in the Northern Hemispher, on the right hand side of the prime meridian  East. The angle made from the earth’s centre to A relative to equator is 58° (=latitude). The angle made from the earth’s centre to A relative to the prime meridian is 80° (=longitude). Point P is situated in the Northern Hemispher, on the left hand side of the prime meridian  West. The angle made from the earth’s centre to P relative to equator is 40° (=latitude). The angle made from the earth’s centre to P relative to the prime meridian is 60° (=longitude).

Coordinate formats and Notation The three symbols and their shortcut used: U+00B0 U+0027 U+0022 There are sixty seconds in a minute (60" = 1') and There are sixty minutes in a degree (60' = 1°). DMS is the most common format DM is commonly used when working with electronic navigation equipment DD is displayed mostly on computer based mapping systems.

Coordinate formats and Notation Basic rules under ISO 6709: First, latitude value, then longitude value Coordinate values should be delimited by spaces or by comma if (+) and (-) is replacing N/S and E/W. When minutes and seconds are less than ten, leading zeroes should be shown. North and south latitudes should be indicated by N (or +) and S (or -) following immediately after (or before) the digits. East and west longitudes should be indicated by E (or +) and W (or -) following immediately after (or before) the digits.

Coordinate system is a reference system that enables every location on the earth to be specified by a set of coordinates of known location on a grid. Geographic coordinate System Universal Transverse Mercator System (with zones from 1 to 60 for “longitude” and zones C to X for “latitude”) Geographic Coordinate System is a reference system that uses a 3D spherical surface to define locations on the earth. A point is referenced by its latitude and longitude values. Latitude is an angle (degrees or grads) measure from the earth’s centre to a point on the earth’s surface, relative to the equator and range from -90° at the south pole to +90° at the north pole. Longitude is an angle (degrees or grads) measured from the earth’s centre to a point on the earth’s surface, relative to the prime meridian and range from -180° to +180°. The prime meridian was adopted in 1884 during the International Meridian Conference. Graticule is the grid covering the globe by meridians and parallels. Horizon is the extent of the coordinate system. Generally, the edges are at -180/+180 for the east–west extents, and -/+90 for the north–south extents.
