Latitude and longitude are angles, so any common angle measure is appropriate,
such as radians, degrees, grads, etc.
The traditional and most commonly used unit is 'degrees', along with either decimal
fractions of degrees, or else the fiendishly awkward and unwieldy 'minutes' and 'seconds'
fractions of degrees.
