1.11 Latitude and longitude
Do not abbreviate the words latitude and longitude when used alone or in ordinary prose:
- What is the latitude of the Tropic of Cancer?
- The wreck was found at 36°7’25’’ north latitude and 15°24’00’’ west longitude.
In technical work and when lists of co-ordinates are given, use the abbreviations lat. and long.:
- lat. 42°15’30’’ N
- lat. 18°40’16’’ S
- long. 89°17’45’’ W
- long. 20°19’22’’ E
