Location object: what to do with returned values?

[fujiwara_no_sai]

I am "successfully" receiving values for Long, Lat, Alt. However, these values do not resemble actual GPS coordinates at all.

You can see information about the Location object here.

The values I am receiving are not usable coordinates

[advaith]

Well it says it's

in the form of a floating point number

, maybe that has something to do with it?

[fujiwara_no_sai]

A floating point number just means the decimal point can move

can't find much information on this, need sum help here.

does anyone know what is the lowest & highest values the Latitude & Longitude numbers can be?

trying to find out wat the values are at one corner of the earth & at the other corner (& yes, i know the world is round )

thanx

I have a guess what this might be for

afaik, in geography they are both expressed in degrees and range from 0 to +/-90° (latitude) or +/-180° (longitude)
I would assume the location object does the same?

for latitude, 0 is the Equator, 90 the north pole, -90 the south pole
(Y coordinates on a 2D map)

for longitude, 0 is Greenwich, +90 around Thailand, -90 around Guatemala, +/-180 somewhere in the Pacific ocean
(X coordinates on a 2D map)

hovering the map here gives a visual catch of this on a "unwrapped" 2D map:

so I would guess the lowest X value should be -180, the lowest Y -90
and opposite signs should be the "highest"

I have a guess what this might be for

looks like sumones been using longitude & latitude to spy on my activities

yeah, i'm gonna try working on a system soon, if i get stuck i may hassle u sum more lol. & u cud test this out to as the location object works on android to if i'm not mistaken. the problem i keep thinking about is its not as if i can travel to another country to test if the location changes lol. i need to be able to teleport like goku!
