What city is 29 degrees latitude and 98 degrees longitude?

Answer 1

Dallas

If you were stranded at sea and gave these coordinates to the Coast Guard to come

rescue you, you would be in one heck of a pickle. Latitude also needs 'north' or 'south'

with it, and longitude also needs 'east' or 'west' with it. Without those tags, your numbers

could be at any one of 4 different points on Earth. (And BTW, none of them is anywhere

near Dallas.)

29° South / 98° West

This point is in the Pacidic Ocean, about 1,600 miles due west of the coast of Chile

in South America, and about 5,060 miles southeast of the nearest point in Hawaii.

29° South / 98° East

This point is in the Indian ocean, about 1,080 miles west-northwest of Perth, Australia.

29° North / 98° West

That place is 1/2 mile north of the iuntersection of CR-229 and CR-237 in Falls City TX,

about 41 miles southeast of downtown San Antonio, and a good 275 miles south of

downtown Dallas.

29° North / 98° East

This place is in south-central China, about 380 miles west-southwest of the center of Chengdu.
