The latitude at the center of Mecca is roughly 21.416° North. The city is located

between any more northerly latitude and any more southerly one.

Different editions, publications, and printings of Mercator projections have

different numbers of latitude and longitude 'lines' printed on them, spaced

at different intervals. There is no standard set of 'lines', just as there is no

standard set of marks on rulers.

In addition, the latitude of a place is the latitude of that place, and does not

depend on the style of the map on which it appears.

Again regarding the 'lines', my mapping software can print 324,000 lines of latitude

on the screen ... a line every 0.00055... degree ... if I decide I need them.

The latitude at the center of the Qaaba is 21° 25' 21.01" North.

If I were to activate all of the latitude lines that are available to me, then that

landmark would fall between the lines at 21° 25' 20" North and 21° 25' 22" North,

which are about 62 meters apart.

Other points in Mecca all have different latitudes.
