`LatitudeLongitude`

✖

LatitudeLongitude[pos]

gives a list of the latitude and longitude in degrees of a geographic position specified by pos.

✖

LatitudeLongitude[pos,datum]

gives the latitude and longitude referring to the specified geodetic datum.

Details

LatitudeLongitude[pos] returns a pair {lat,lon} of Quantity angles in degrees .
Latitude is in the range to .
Longitudes are taken to be positive to the east.
The position pos in LatitudeLongitude[pos] can be a GeoPosition, GeoGridPosition, or other position object. It can also be a geo Entity object.
LatitudeLongitude[] is equivalent to LatitudeLongitude[$GeoLocation].
LatitudeLongitude gives the geodetic latitude; GeodesyData gives conversions to other forms of latitude.
If no datum is given, LatitudeLongitude assumes positions to refer to the International Terrestrial Reference Frame 2000.
