How do degree confluence relate to vectors?

Degree confluence points represent locations on Earth where integer degrees of latitude and longitude intersect. Vectors are used to represent the direction and magnitude of movement from one point to another, which can be calculated based on the coordinates of degree confluence points. Vectors can help determine the distance and direction needed to reach a specific degree confluence point from a given location.
