How to Read Latitude and Longitude on a Map | Outside Watch

- Knowing how to read latitude and longitude is important for any backcountry trip. Coordinates-expressed in either latitude/longitude or UTM-are a precise measurement of a specific location on the planet. Once you’ve pinpointed the coordinates of your position (or of your destination or a point of interest along the way), you can use them to figure out your location on a map, plot a course, or communicate where you are to rescuers if you’re in a jam.

This did not help...at all.
yes its not help , what i mean she should show to us, pointing in map and says the coordinate in the maps , we all know all the maps have number in maps grid, what we want to know , how to combining the number become coordinate , without that , the talk about coordinate its nonsense
Try cutting line. 😊
"Here's what you need to know to read a map: It can be complicated." Thanks for the lesson there ranger Rick...
I really hate to say this but I still don't know how to read latitude and longitude coordinates after watching this video. Can we get sample coordinates to learn from in the next video? For example, if I provide 46° 9′ N and 98° 6′ W, where am I located?????? I have no freaking clue. . . please help.
😂
I am absurdly upset that this channel, @OutsideWatch!!!!!, has not yet provided us with a clear explanation of how to read Longitude Latitude coordinates. If you want to learn then try watching ruclips.net/video/uifelM_2v8I/видео.html instead. Don't waste your time.
@@DizzyFingerssyou sound like such a nerd.
I think a lot of the confusion that you’re seeing about this video is for 3 reasons.
1) There is a mislabeling of latitude and longitude lines around the 1:50 mark. Longitude lines are evenly spaced and run north south, latitude lines are unevenly spaced and run east west around the entire globe.
2) You gave little to no visual information alongside the verbal. It’s just talking; about something that is inherently quite visual. Just describing the numbering system doesn’t give people a sense of what longitude and latitude coordinates format actually looks like and how to read them.
3) You didn’t give any specific examples or compare and contrast different location’s latitude and longitude coordinates so that people could get a sense of how they work.
Seems like you just read instructions without any application......Do you really know how to read longitude and lat.????
I know how to read LAT/Long and this was a crap explanation even for someone who already knows...
is it always start with Latitude then Longitude?
Thank you that cleared it up for me 😀
Can anyone please tell me how to say this location? Lat / Lon: N 26° 27.700' / W 080° 03.833' Is it 26 degrees 27 minutes 7 seconds North and then 80 degrees 3 minutes and 833 seconds West
I personally think she explains this easily, but then i navigate all the time. Perhaps it too brief an explanation?
The profile camera is really odd.
Lines of Latitudes run east or west parallel to equator? 😮 How can this be? Wrong information!
This is what happens when you get a woman to teach you how to read a map
Why start talking about it if you are not going to explain how to get those coordinates correctly ? Waste of time.....
Did not help at all!!
Smokers buy more cigarettes than non-smokers. End of lesson.
Stupid comment.
Lat is flat, long is tall…
Do it off a globe model not a flat map...LOL.
Not helpful!!!
