A sextant is a device used to determine a ship's latitude by measuring the angle between the horizon and the celestial body, typically the sun or a star. This information is then used in conjunction with nautical charts to calculate the ship's position on the Earth's surface.
You can find the latitude of a city by searching for it in a mapping service like Google Maps or by using a GPS device. The latitude is the coordinate that indicates how far north or south a location is from the equator.
Latitude and longitude are used to find the degrees horizontally and vertically around the earth, pin-pointing a location.
You find the lines of latitude and longitude and find the place that they intersect, which is your location.
It can be easy to use latitude and longitude to find cities on a map if you are familiar with geographic coordinates. However, if you are not accustomed to using latitude and longitude, it may take some time to get used to. Practice and familiarity with the coordinates will make it easier over time.

latitude and logitude are used to find the exact location of a place, as long as you know the coordinents
There are many things which are depend on coordinate geometry, for example when a person or government wants to find where a place is situated, or the location of a person, longitude and latitude coordinates can be used to find them. The whole globe is based on longitude and latitude - where the lines of longitude and latitude meet is a coordinate.For example, it is possible to find the longitude and latitude of a place and then use those coordinates to find the place on a map. The location could also be put into a sat-nav device which uses its current longitude and latitude coordinates to work out a route to the destination - all in little steps between different coordinates.
To find the latitude in the northern hemisphere, you can use a GPS device or online map tools that provide latitude information based on your current location. Additionally, you can determine latitude using a sextant and celestial navigation techniques by measuring the angle of the North Star above the horizon.
Most likely you are missing drivers for your wireless device. You can use Dell.com to find required drivers.
To find the longitude and latitude of a location, you can use a GPS device, a smartphone with location services, or online mapping tools like Google Maps. These tools will provide you with the precise coordinates of the location in terms of its longitude (east-west) and latitude (north-south).
Global positional systems (GPS) work by triangulating your position based upon finding your longitude and latitude. A device will find longitude and latitude and the GPS will read that and translate it into maps.
