Latitude and Longitude Coordinates

Parent Previous Next

You must report your facility's latitude and longitude coordinates in decimal degrees.  


Here is an example of latitude and longitude values in decimal degrees:

Latitude = 38.898556    

Longitude = -77.037852






1)  Check if a coordinate is in decimal degrees

2)  For facilities located in the US (except Guam), check if the latitude coordinate is within the range of 0 to 80

3)  For facilities located in the US (except Guam), check if the longitude coordinate is within the range of -180 to -50
