Lumbar spondylosis is a spine condition that describes the natural deterioration of the lower spine due to age and compression. While spondylosis can occur throughout the spine, the most common location of occurrence is in the lowest portion of the spine, where the lumbar spine meets the sacrum, or tailbone.
A point {lat,lon} is a distance d out on the tc radial from point 1 if: 1  lat=asin(sin(lat1)*cos(d)+cos(lat1)*sin(d)*cos(tc)) IF (cos(lat)=0) lon=lon1 // endpoint a pole ELSE lon=mod(lon1-asin(sin(tc)*sin(d)/cos(lat))+pi,2*pi)-pi ENDIF.
Thus, most new GPS users start out using lat/lon coordinates. There are other geographic coordinate systems in common use. You may find that they are well suited to your needs and easier to use than lat/lon. Refer to the page on Selecting a Geographic Coordinate System for a comparison of different systems.
