    Lat and Lon formats

    I was talking about this in the pub the other day. Lat and Lon can be written in so many different ways it can be confusing how to state them, so I wrote this article on the matter.

    Actually never used lat and long ever in my life. I'd have big trouble finding such a position on a map...
