By combining longitude and latitude measurements, any location on earth can be determined. The units of measurement for geographic coordinates are degrees (Â°), minutes ('), and seconds (). Like a circle, the Earth has 360 degrees. Each degree is divided into 60 minutes, which in turn is divided into 60 seconds. Latitude and longitude coordinates also include cardinal directions: north or south of the equator for latitude, and east or west of the prime meridian for longitude.
