Those numbers are used by soldiers, sailors, pilots, and drivers, for two major purposes:
1). To be able to explain exactly where they are in the world, when they phone in
to the office.
2). To know which way to steer when the office calls and tells them where to go to.
Knowing your latitude and longitude makes all kinds of things a lot easier, such as
-- knowing where you are
-- knowing how far you traveled today
-- knowing the right direction to go from where you are now to your destination
-- knowing how far you still have to go before you get there
-- telling people where you are if you need them to come out and rescue you.
so sailors dont have a map with them they only have latitude and longtiude
=========================
Sailors have plenty of maps with them. But out in the middle of the ocean,
the map is pretty boring because it looks like the surface of a swimming pool
for a thousand miles in every direction. So the map doesn't do you much good
out there, and you need a better way to figure out where you are and where
you're going.
Because there are no street signs, route markers, corners, intersections,
junctions, or addresses at sea, but they still need some way to figure out
where they are, where they're going, and which way to go to get from here
to there.
They might want to figure out where they are.
it helps them find their way around the ocean
If the sailors were on a ship, and they were in the Bahamas, and they wanted to go to Austraila, they might use latitude and longitude to determine where and how to get there.
Using latitude and longitude - you can pinpoint any location on Earth. Every location is unique.
They are imaginary lines drawn on maps that help in navigation and in fixing the position of a ship or aeroplane.
According to Google Maps, the latitude and longitude for Tingui are -13.05, -38.9.
Latitude and longitude are simply the way we can describe any point on the surface of the Earth. It's easy to use and easy to understand, and it's already printed on most maps.
Because it is
To interpret all the general and special purpose maps, it is important to know about latitude and longitude. A basic understanding of geography will help.
They are imaginary lines drawn on maps that help in navigation and in fixing the position of a ship or aeroplane.
Latitude and longitude is used on maps.
According to Google Maps, the latitude and longitude for Tingui are -13.05, -38.9.
When astronomers are working with geographic maps, they call latitude "latitude"and longitude "longitude".When they're working with celestial maps, they refer to the analogous celestial coordinatesas "Declination" and "Right Ascension".

Latitude and Longitude
For Maps, it is latitude and longitude.

latitude and longitude
You can see latitude and longitude on maps and globes, since they are imaginary lines that cannot be seen on the surface of Earth.
