Latitude
Latitude[pos]
gives the latitude in degrees of a geographic position specified by pos.
Latitude[pos,datum]
gives the latitude referring to the specified geodetic datum.
Details
- Latitude[pos] returns a Quantity angle in degrees with magnitude in the range to .
- The position pos in Latitude[pos] can be a GeoPosition, GeoGridPosition, or other position object. It can also be a geo Entity object.
- Latitude[] is equivalent to Latitude[$GeoLocation].
- 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 "ITRF00" datum, the International Terrestrial Reference Frame 2000.

Scope (10)
This is equivalent to the following:
Extract the latitude of a GeoPosition object:
Compute the latitude of any type of geo location:
Get the latitude of a geo entity:
This is equivalent to the following:
Extract the latitudes of the locations in a GeoPosition array:
Get the latitudes of the elements of a geo entity class:
That is equivalent to the following:
Extract the latitude of a geo location in a given datum:
Latitude automatically threads over lists of locations:
Extract Exif location information from an image:
These are the current latitudes of the magnetic poles, as determined by GeomagneticModelData:
Properties & Relations (3)
Take a GeoPosition object:
Latitude returns the latitude of that location as a Quantity object:
The "Latitude" property of GeoPosition objects returns a numeric result in degrees:
The presence of elevation or temporal data does not affect the value of latitude:
Latitude returns geodetic latitude with respect to a reference datum ellipsoid:
GeodesyData can convert to other types of latitude for the given datum:
