What else can I help you with?
How do you measure location?
a compass bearing is one way e.g. NNE of the bank another way they can describe a location is with latitude and longitude e.g. 23° 12' N 12° 45' E
How do global positioning systems use elevation point on earth system to find latitude and longitude?
GPS receivers do not 'use' elevation for anything. They use the signals from several satellites simultaneously to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the receiver's location. It takes a minimum of three satellites to calculate the latitude and longitude, a minimum of four satellites to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation, if more satellites can be found the latitude, longitude, and elevation calculations can be refined more accurately.

Difference between latitude and longitude?
The difference between latitude and longitude is that latitude refers to a location point's distance that is either north or south of the equator and longitude refers to a specific point's distance that is either east or west of the prime meridian. The prime meridian is the longitude line that has zero degree and passes near London, United Kingdom.
What is the abbreviation for longitude?
abbreviation for latitude is Lat or a symbol pronounced 'phi' the symbol is like a three pronged fork with the centre and right hand prongs joined in a loop at the top.
What three pieces of information do GPS systems calculate for a given location?
