Latitude
gives the latitude referring to the specified geodetic datum.
  • Latitude returns a value in the range -90 to +90.
  • Latitude gives the geodetic latitude; GeodesyData gives conversions to other forms of latitude.
  • If no datum is given, Latitude assumes positions to refer to the International Terrestrial Reference Frame 2000.
Extract the latitude from a geodetic position:
