Latitudes and Longitudes are imaginary lines across maps, which are used as coordinates to locate places on earth. Latitudes run across the earth starting from the equator, going up North or down South. Whereas, Longitudes originate from the Greenwich meridian and run to the East and West.
Maps, aviation and nautical charts, globe models, GPS, GPRS etc. use latitudes and longitudes, for locating a given place.
