Question

Where can I find the longitude and attitude for a certain location, e.g. Tripoli, Libya?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Try Google Earth.  It is one of the greatest inventions of our time.

Answer 2

You should be able to Google that with out too much difficulty - just type the location you want plus the words, longitude and latitude - voila - you're there....

Answer 3

when you have the map there are many lines(very thick, usually blue)which have numbers on them at the end of the line, there can be vertical or horizontal.

The longitude is the horizontal one. if you have 52,42...for example,then you have to look for the longitude(which is 52)...you look at the numbers on the margins and find number 52 and you do the same for the vertical one...

good luck!please tell me if that wasn't clear enough i can try explaining it once more:)
