Latitude and Longitude to Feet
Multiplier1 Minute of Longitude = 5,100 Feet *
Longitude lines measure location to the
WEST of the Prime Meridian (
W 119
0 38.748’ )*As you travel north or south of the equator
longitude lines get closer together. Your constant will get smaller the further north you are go.
Latitude lines
measure location north or south of the equator ( N 360 48.061’ ). They are always the same distance apart so this number remains the same.Multiplier 1 Minute of Latitude = 6,300 FeetSlide7
