Well you want to look for zero degrees longitude so you start at the 'Prime meridian' this is just a fancy name for the zero degrees of longitude. The 'Prime meridian' starts at Greenich,England. Now longitude measures from North to South so if you were to find. 30 degrees North or 30 degrees south. You would just travel below or above the equater. North is above and South for below. (The equater is zero degrees latitude..)
