Latitude is your position north or south of the Equator. Lines, or parallels, are drawn around the Earth at intervals. The North Pole is assigned the latitude 90Âº north and the South Pole latitude 90Âº south. Lines of longitude, or meridians, are drawn a little differently.
While your comment is reasonable, it doesn't answer the user's question about converting the lat/lng degree difference to meters. â JivanAmara Sep 19 '13 at 4:37. add a comment |. up vote 0 down vote. To convert latitude and longitude in x and y representation you need to decide what type of map projection to use.As for me, Elliptical Mercator seems very well.ne nautical mile (1852 meters) is defined as one arcminute of longitude at the equator. However, you need to define a map projection (see also UTM) in which you are working for the conversion to really make sense. share | improve this answer.
