Once you give a latitude and a longitude, you have exactly described one single point

on the surface of the Earth. There can't be more than one city, or more than one country,

at the point you describe. In this case, however, you haven't named just one latitude and

one longitude.

-- Latitude must always include "north" or "south", and you haven't told us which one you mean,

so "26.1" could mean either one of two different latitudes.

-- Longitude must always include "east" or "west", and you haven't told us which one you mean,

so "81.80" could mean either one of two different longitudes.

Altogether then, the numbers in the question could refer to four different points on

the Earth. Fortunately, you're not reporting your position to the Coast Guard and

asking to be rescued. Here's where your numbers could lead them:

26.1° north latitude / 81.80° east longitude

That point is in northeast India, about 46 miles north of Allahabad.

26.1° north latitude / 81.80° west longitude

That point is in Naples, Florida, on the south side of town, between Gordon Dr and Cutlass Ln.

26.1° south latitude / 81.80° east longitude

That point is in the central Indian ocean, about 2,090 miles west of Perth, Australia, and

2,280 miles south of Colombo, Sri Lanka.

26.1° south latitude / 81.80° west longitude

This point is in the south Pacific Ocean, about 690 miles west of the coast of South America,

and 2,360 miles south of the coast of Panama.
