Locate a Place, Then Measure a Route

Coordinates answer where, not how to get there

Latitude gives an angular position north or south of the equator, from 0 to 90 degrees. Longitude gives an angular position east or west of the prime meridian, from 0 to 180 degrees. Read the labels and coordinate order instead of assuming every system lists them identically. A coordinate identifies a location; it does not tell you whether a bridge is open. All places, records, interviews, and numerical scenarios in this sequence are fictional unless explicitly identified as a source.
