Publisher's Description of Learn About Latitude and Longitude (Follow the Map!)
There is no more accurate way to communicate your location than using
latitude and longitude—and it even transcends a language barrier! These
coordinates can help rescuers save someone lost in the wilderness or
geocachers discover their treasure. In this informative volume, readers
learn about the development, use, and accuracy of the grid mapping
system of latitude and longitude. The main content supports mapping
topics in social studies classes, including an understanding of the
equator and Prime Meridian. Full-color maps aid readers' understanding
as fact boxes clarify key information
