32.866436,-114.385992 Latitude and longitude coordinates. Aviation systems often express these in degrees and decimal fractions of a degree, intead of degrees, minutes, and seconds. Some systems also use degrees, minutes, and fractions of a minute. There are several variations. Negative longitude (second number) means west, positive east. Positive latitude means north, negative south. Those particular coordinates correspond to the Yuma AAF Proving Ground (KLGF), in Arizona, USA. |
