Unlike previous calculations, this one included the area from the coast to the low-water line, revealing the country to be 160 km 2 (62 sq mi) larger in surface area than previously thought. [40] [41] Its land area alone is 30,494 square kilometers. [5] It lies between latitudes 49°30' and 51°30' N, and longitudes 2°33' and 6°24' E. [42]
Latitude Locations 90° N North Pole: 75° N: Arctic Ocean; Russia; northern Canada; Greenland: 60° N: Oslo, Norway; Helsinki, Finland; Stockholm, Sweden; major parts of Nordic countries in EU; St. Petersburg, Russia; southern Alaska United States; southern border of the Yukon and the Northwest territories in Canada; Shetland, UK (Scotland)
The 15° gore that is offset from UTC by 12 hours is bisected by the nautical date line into two 7.5° gores that differ from UTC by ±12 hours. In theory, ships are supposed to adopt the standard time of a country if they are within its territorial waters within 12 nautical miles (14 mi; 22 km) of land, then revert to international time zones ...

Map of France. Module:Location map/data/France is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of France. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.
Eratosthenes in the 3rd century BC first proposed a system of latitude and longitude for a map of the world. His prime meridian (line of longitude) passed through Alexandria and Rhodes, while his parallels (lines of latitude) were not regularly spaced, but passed through known locations, often at the expense of being straight lines.

Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 4.7 degrees. At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0.0235 degrees per pixel. At an image width of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0047 degrees per pixel. Latitude: from North to South this map definition covers 2.6 degrees. At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.013 degrees per pixel.
In this case the latitude is 51.455558, and the longitude is -2.605047. The reverse is possible by entering the lat and long into the search bar, with a space between them.
