You can enter latitude/longitude coordinates in Google Maps to zoom to that location.
With Google Maps open you can, for example, enter "48.86,2.35" into the search text box to jump to Paris, France. The order of coordinates is latitude,longitude in decimal degrees.Sometimes the coordinate search gets confused and in that case you should prefix the coordinates with the location tag "loc:" such as "loc: 48.86,2.35" not including the quotes.
Likewise, you can use a URL for Google Maps with the parameters ?q=48.86,2.35 added to end of the base URL in your web browser.
If you're browsing Google Maps and want to know the coordinates of a location, just right-click on the map and select 'What's here?'. The coordinates will automatically pop up in the search box.

According to Google Maps, the latitude and longitude for Tingui are -13.05, -38.9.
east and west
For Maps, it is latitude and longitude.
Latitude and Longitude
Longitude and latitude - check out Greenwich meantime!
You can see latitude and longitude on maps and globes, since they are imaginary lines that cannot be seen on the surface of Earth.
A common false statement about the use of longitude and latitude lines on maps is that they are evenly spaced across the globe. In reality, while lines of latitude are parallel and evenly spaced, lines of longitude converge at the poles and are widest apart at the equator. This means that the distance between lines of longitude decreases as you move towards the poles, which can distort perceptions of distance and size on flat maps.
in these modern maps there are accurate number of lines and continents Ancient maps had no latitude or longitude lines
You find latitude by finding the place on the map and see what line it is between or on. The same with longitude. You can also find the latitude and longitude of an address using Google maps.
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator and measure a location's distance east or west of the prime meridian. Latitude lines are represented by horizontal lines on maps, while longitude lines are represented by vertical lines.
Not all maps show latitude and longitude. On those that do some have horizontal lines indicating where lines of latitude lie, and on the right and left margins of the map these lines will have the latitude they represent marked. Then on some maps the lines are missing but the notations in the margin show where the lined of latitude should be.
on an atlas you'll see lines across maps,the vetical lines are the longitude (east and west).the latitude will be the horizontal lines known as north and south.....Wrong way round. Longitude is north/south and latitude is east/west.
