7th Map Skil s worksheets pof Mapivaster OKIDS Fiatupook MapMaster Skills: Using Latitude and Longitude Every place on earth has two points, or coordinates, that mark its location. These coordinates are measured in degrees of latitude and degrees of longitude. Imagine that you want to find out where Beijing, China, is. You start with the index section of an atlas. This index gives you not only the page number of the map of China, but also the coordinates for Beijing: 40°N, 116°E. So you know that when you turn to the map of China, you will look for the line of latitude marked 40°N. Then, you will look in the area between 110°E and 120°E and you will find Beijing.
