2nd video I've seen on this subject and this explanation is far superior. I now have a basic understanding of how GPS coordinates work. One thing I noticed, the face of the earth in 2 dimensions represents 180 degrees which is half of 360 degree circle. Makes sense, however, when looking for a point close to 90 W Longitude the starting point is not the edge of the earth, rather it is the prime meridian which is, I'm guessing about 20 degrees from said edge of the earth. It would have been possible to place the prime meridian on the edge merely by moving the point of reference over those 20 or so degrees and I believe would have made this video even better and easier to understand. (Could be wrong though) Cheers
The whole How Stuff Works crew seems to be withdrawing from RUclips. First Cristen Conger abandoned her Stuff Mom Never Told You channel, and now Brainstuff fades away. Wtf, people? I know you're all still doing the podcast. Why no videos? Also, has this channel really not uploaded in a year? I could swear this GPS video was uploaded a month ago. Maybe I've slipped into a parallel universe.... again.
This guy is very cheerful, helpful, and give plenty of graphics and explanations of coordinates. Love it! (: Coordinates are easy on a map, but talking about how a compass work and how to match bearings, its not so much! Here is me wanting and needing to be an expert navigator! Good thing I still remember this from high school and I am just 25! Hahaha! Cheers mate!
So at 4:14 the formula you displayed resulted in the coordinates 43.095194. Below that you rounded it down to 43.09. Don't your normally round up when when the last digit is a 5?. Shouldn't it have been "43.10" (or 43.1)?
What you didn't catch is the word "Location" after he said that. Think of it like this: Lines of latitude measure north-south (position) between the poles. Although lines of longitude, or "meridians" run between the North and South Poles, they measure east-west position or "location" on the globe. Hope that makes sense:)
The lines of latitude run east/west. So to go from one line of latitude to another, you travel north/south. Lines of longitude run north/south. So to go from one to another, you go east/west.
I have seen one on my pencil case 40.5853°N 105.0844°W SAFE PLACE BASE please im really confused I do know that those mark fort collins colorado im not sure tho
So what does 57 degrees North East mean? And is that 57 degrees relevant when I am hiking and heading in a general direction or want to head in a general direction. Is knowing North East sufficient for my hiking purposes.
Hey, please help me to straighten this thing out. So... the degree for latitude is never more than 90° and for longitude is never mora than 180°, is my understanding right? Since it is explained with N / S for side of hemisphere and W / E for in which side of prime meridian line. Correct?
Another thing to remember is that longitude are all great circles. They all travel in perfectly straight lines. Latitude however are not straight lines (except the equator). If you follow them on the Earth's surface you are always traveling in a curve veering in either a northerly or southerly direction..
would you give a more in depth explanation? I figure you're statement is true if you're following a map but if you follow a globe it would be stragiht but I'm not sure
A common method for writing coordinates without using N, S, E, or W is by using + and - to denote direction from the equator or the prime meridian; for example latitude north of the equator is + and south is -, from +90 to -90, longitude is + to the east and - to the west, in the range from 0 to +/- 180 (international date line).
Yeah, I really don't understand when perfectly capable, ad generating, popular channels just die off. I really don't understand it at all...I'm sure they're doing multiple other channels still, always have, but just pass it off at the least, to get use, you know? Odd.
Thanks for this. Can u explain how the sound in mic-speaker system sometimes resonates and produce noisy whistles. Many people look forward for the cause and adjusts some how. But they dont know exact reason.
Hello. I wanna ask, and its important for me Is there a space between 110° and 3 or not? and space between the number second and E thank you and example 110° 3’56,786” E or 110°3’56,786” E or 110°3’56,786”E
What very many people miss in degrees minutes second to decimal degrees is that it’s the same as hours minutes seconds to decimal hours. Everyone knows 1 hr 15 min is 1.25 hr. And 1 deg 15 min is 1.25 deg.
Bram Heesen It's "the real Santa's village". If you're not interested in Santa at all, then it really is just a bunch of random houses. Unless I made a huge mistake and copy-pasted wrong coordinates...
Haha :D Ok. I get why so confused. I used browser to pick my spot and by dragging the Street View icon on the area I got A LOT of blue streets to pick from and most were wintery af. I had viewable streets that are not even visible on the normal map at all. The coordinates I picked were just smack bang in the middle of the village. I tried to see how it works on mobile and got instantly dropped to summer forest... So if you're on mobile (or using something else), it might take a bit of work to find the wintery bits.
Is the math right here at 1:56 ? I see in line 2, we added 5 (/60 unit) directly with 0.711666 (/10 unit). Shouldn't we first do this instead ? (5/60) + (42.7/60) + 43 ? I am confused ?
GPS coordinates do not work like this, you've explained latlong which has nothing to do with GPS coordinates. Furthermore on land navigation is don mostly by coordinates and not by latlong which are two different things. First a geological date is used like WGS84 combined with a grid system like UTM an for military purposes the MGRS is added.

Here’s my beef with GPS coordinates. They’re not GPS coordinates, they’re coordinates. GPS determines the coordinate of s receiver. But the coordinates are different because it’s GPS derived
They are NOT GPS coordinates; that's a misnomer. They are geographical coordinates, given in longitude and latitude. GPS is a high-tech system for determining longitude and latitude; it depends on a system of artificial satellites and computer technology, and can't exist without them. The first efforts at any kind of GPS date from the 1960s. Longitude and latitude, on the other hand, have been around for centuries.

0.33 -0.38 .. he says that lattitude represents north/south while longitude is east/west . I was under the impression that the very opposite is true 🤔

Which part of the earth is the front? And which is the back? Is there any? I feel like each country puts their country in the front in movies and such
From what I understood here, they put Greenwich as a starting point, and started counting from there.
There is no part of earth which is frount or back. Movies put their country in the supposed "frount" probably for easy identification or highlighting.
All in all, unless a point of reference is specified, there isn't any frount of back side of earth.
