What is another word for latitude and longitudes?
Pronunciation: [lˈatɪtjˌuːd and lˈɒnd͡ʒɪtjˌuːdz] (IPA) 
Latitude and longitudes are an essential component of looking up and identifying locations on Earth's surface. Variants of the terms include parallels and meridians, respectively. Similarly, lines of latitude are also known as parallels because they remain equidistant and never intersect. Meridians, on the other hand, intersect at Earth's poles and are also known as lines of longitude. Some other synonyms for latitude and longitude include coordinates, geocoordinates, and global positioning system (GPS) coordinates. While coordinate is a broader term that can apply to locations not on Earth, GPS coordinates specifically refer to the numerical values needed to pinpoint one's location on a GPS device.
