1 year ago Latitude and longitude are in degrees.
The primary unit in which longitude and latitude are given is degrees (°). There are 360° of longitude (180° E ↔ 180° W) and 180° of latitude (90° N ↔ 90° S). Each degree can be broken into 60 minutes (’). Each minute can be divided into 60 seconds (”). For finer accuracy, fractions of seconds given by a decimal point are used. A base-sixty notation is called a sexagesimal notation.
We do return it as a simple double, but it's still in degrees. See astro.unl.edu
The horizontalAccuracy is in meters, as is the Altitude.
In this file, you have documentation comments, but what are the units for values like latitude and altitude? Is it meters? Feet?
