The absolute location of Fiji is 18 degrees South latitude and 175 degrees East longitude.

More accurately...

The precise geographic location of Suva Nausori International Airport, located in Nandi, Fiji, is 18°02´37"S, 178°33´33"E

Or, in modern terms, the precise geographic location of Suva Nausori International Airport is located at exactly 18 02.65 S 178 33.465 E

A set of latitude/longitude coordinates defines a single point on the Earth's surface.

So we know immediately that there's no way a group of islands, or even an entire

single island, or even a whole beach on one side of one island, could be located

exactly at a single set of coordinates.

To illustrate the folly of referring to the "exact latitude and longitude" of an

extended region, consider the Labasa Airport in the interior of Vanua Levu in

Fiji's Northern Division.

The northwest end of the 1,055-meter runway at Labasa is located at

16.46383° south latitude

179.33680° east longitude,

whereas the southeast end of the same runway is located at

16.47171° south latitude

179.34237° east longitude.

If you include only whole numbers ... no decimals, or minutes or seconds ... in

your latitude and longitude, then the numbers only mean "somewhere within

about 140 miles" of the place you asked for.

If you include one decimal place in each number, then the numbers change from

one end of Viti Levu or Vanua Levu to the other, and certainly from any one island

in Fiji to another.

And as you saw in the example above, coordinates that include two decimal places

can both change in the space of barely one kilometer.

So, if you ask for "exact" coordinates, you'll never get them, and you can't trust

anyone who gives you numbers without a disclaimer and says they're exact.

I must say . . . I've enjoyed proof-reading this answer almost as much as I enjoyed

writing it.
