In this video I will show you the mathematical meaning of Latitude and Longitude. I will discuss the different unit systems that are used for these parameters, and show you how these numbers correspond to your position on the earth. Then we will look at the data coming from our GPS project and understand how to convert those numbers to useful and usable values.. Enjoy!

We are actually pursuing building a GPS Tracker, and this is the gear we will be using in this class:
