They're not. If 'S' and 'E' are the only labels you see, then you're only looking at

1/4 of the earth, or less.

For every south latitude, there's also a north latitude with the same number, and

for every east longitude, there's also a west longitude with the same number.

You should turn your globe, or turn to another page in your book of maps. A whole

new 3/4 of a world awaits you.
