Using Coordinates

Finding a Location

Coordinates are written as two numbers: latitude first, then longitude. For example, Washington, D.C. is at about 39 degrees North, 77 degrees West. This is like giving someone directions with a grid — go to row 39 and column 77, and that is where the city is!
