what do the second numbers represent in each number set of coordinates on a map? And how do I find it's exact location?





What do the 52 and 09 represent?


Ex: 19*52' N or 99*09' WWhat do the second numbers in coordinates represent?
';minutes';





each degree of latitude and longitude are divided into smaller equal parts called ';minutes'; and each minute is divided into ';seconds';





60 seconds = 1 minute


60 minutes = 1 degree
