=== Voicing Latitude and Longitude === | === Voicing Latitude and Longitude === | ||
For clarity begin with the word “latitude” followed by the latitude in degrees. (Think of “Latitude” as a proword that you use instead of “Figures”. Give 5 or 6 digits to the right of the decimal point for each number. The decimal point should be voiced as “decimal” rather than “point”. Then say the proword “longitude” followed by the longitude as a negative number because you are west of Greenwich, England. | For clarity begin with the word “latitude” followed by the latitude in degrees.

For instance, “45.471687, –122.728182” would be voiced as “Latitude four five decimal four seven one six eight seven Longitude minus one two two decimal seven two eight one eight two”.
