The opposite latitude is (27-57-44.3694) South. The opposite longitude is (97-59-59.01) East.
The starting point is out in the middle of the street, on the 90-degree turn of
Buck Run Drive, in Lakeland FL. It's in front of the house that has two or three
rather puny palm trees adjacent to the pavement, and 9 or more beautifully
bedded healthy looking trees back in the yard. (That's the house with the
stone front on the garage, just north of #5753.)
The opposite point on the globe is in the southeastern Indian Ocean, about
1,100 miles west-northwest of Perth, Australia.
It's 3,100 miles almost due south of Rangoon, Myanmar, 2,665 miles due north
of the Antarctic coast, 4,000 miles straight east of Durban, South Africa, and ...
as I would hope if my calculations were correct ... 12,430 miles in any direction
from Buck Run Dr in Lakeland FL.
I've played with these opposite-point situations before, and it virtually always
turns out to be at sea. It took me a while, but I finally understood the reason:
So little of the Earth's surface is dry land, and so much of it is water, that it's
tough to find a pair of opposite points on Earth that are both on land !

What does global grid of longitude and latitude tell a map user?
Latitude and longitude give you way to describe, with whatever level of precision that you need, exactly where any location on the Earth is.
Location describes the global address of a place using degree of latitude and longitude?
Absolute
How do global positioning systems use elevation points earths system to find latitude and longitude?
GPS receivers do not 'use' elevation for anything. They use the signals from several satellites simultaneously to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the receiver's location. It takes a minimum of three satellites to calculate the latitude and longitude, a minimum of four satellites to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation, if more satellites can be found the latitude, longitude, and elevation calculations can be refined more accurately.

Which lines on a global grid run from pole to pole?
The lines on a global grid that run from pole to pole are called meridians of longitude. The prime meridian, which passes through Greenwich, London, is the most well-known and has a longitude of 0 degrees. The meridian at 180 degrees, opposite the prime meridian, is called the International Date Line.
When the sunsets where is it rising?
When the sun is setting where you are, it is rising along the same shadow line between night and day but on the opposite side of the world. That includes the point on the earth directly opposite your location.If you know your global coordinates, to get the coordinates of the point opposite you on the globe...Change north latitude to south latitude or south latitude to north latitude (keep the same magnitude of the latitude).Change east longitude to west longitude or west longitude to east longitude.Subtract the magnitude of your longitude from 180°.
What is a global grid?
The definition of global grid is a grid that covers the whole Earth.
What is a global grid used for?
finding locations by using latitude and longitude
What 2 coordinates is the global positioning system based on?
latitude longitude
Why are latitude and longitude necessary?
To locate different areas on the global map.(positions)
What are the global coordinates of Tracy California?
Tracy is 37.739N latitude and 121.424W longitude.
How do global positioning systems use elevation points on earth systems to find latitude and longitude?
Global Positioning System (GPS) uses timing signals from four satellites to determine your latitude,longitude, altitude and precise time.
What does global grid of longitude and latitude tell a map user?
Latitude and longitude give you way to describe, with whatever level of precision that you need, exactly where any location on the Earth is.
Location describes the global address of a place using degree of latitude and longitude?
Absolute
what a global grid?
An x-y coordinate system, with the origin at 0° latitude and 0° longitude
How gps works?
Global positional systems (GPS) work by triangulating your position based upon finding your longitude and latitude. A device will find longitude and latitude and the GPS will read that and translate it into maps.

GPS receivers do not 'use' elevation for anything. They use the signals from several satellites simultaneously to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the receiver's location.
