geolatlon

Geolatlon is a term that refers to the geographical coordinates used to specify a location on the Earth's surface. The term is a combination of "geo," which means Earth, and "latlon," which stands for latitude and longitude. Latitude is the angular distance of a place north or south of the Earth's equator, measured in degrees. Longitude is the angular distance of a place east or west of the prime meridian, also measured in degrees. Together, latitude and longitude form a grid system that allows for the precise identification of any location on Earth. This system is fundamental in various fields such as geography, cartography, navigation, and GPS technology. Geolatlon coordinates are typically expressed in decimal degrees, but they can also be represented in degrees, minutes, and seconds. The use of geolatlon coordinates is essential for mapping, surveying, and locating points of interest on the globe.
