You might be going for this: most locations on earth can be described with one of these:
- degrees N latitude degrees W longitude
- degrees N latitude degrees E longitude
- degrees S latitude degrees W longitude
- degrees S latitude degrees E longitude
Latitude N extends from the equator at 0 degrees to the north pole at 90 degrees N.
Latitude S extends from the equator to the south pole at 90 degrees S.
Longitude W extends from the Prime Meridian, 0 degrees, west (toward the Americas) to the International Date Line at 180 degrees.
Longitude E extends from the Prime Meridian east (toward Asia) to the IDL.
The words latitude and longitude are not always used, since the directions sufficiently qualify the measures. You don't need the word degrees either, as long as everyone using the system knows the system being used.
Exceptions to 1 through 4 would be if you are at the equator, which is neither north nor south, the Prime Meridian or zero degrees longitude which is neither east nor west, and the International Date Line or 180 degrees longitude which is neither east nor west. Wherever you are, with the exception of the poles, you would need a measure of latitude and longitude to specify your exact location.
