How to find Latitude Longitude from Topographic Map

[kassiebohannon]

You explained this better than my college geology professor. Thank you

I'm about to take a geology lab exam, and I didn't understand this in class. Thank you so much for helping me to understand!!

I can not even begin to explain how much sense this makes now that you've explained it so concise. I will pass my exam solely because of this video THANK YOU

Great tip, thank you for publishing it. I endorse your comments on map reading and navigation, rather than blindly relying on a GPSr. My two bobs worth is that, if your GPSr is capable of doing it, define your position format for primary displays in MGRS for bushwalking, but configure a secondary data field in lat/lon so you have it handy if assistance is required. It's my understanding that search and rescue services use degrees, minutes and decimal minutes (rather than degrees, minutes and seconds).
Keep your posts coming!

Seriously, thank you! I don't understand why my university course made it so complicated that I could not understand. You just made my day!

You are a great teacher and have a peaceful voice. Thanks for the help!

[Anfalina]

Thank you. I'm reviewing this for my geomorphology test. Much better than my professor's explanation.

I am taking college early, you are a life saver and you have spared me many tears, thank you. 🥰

Thank you for the video! Just like allot of the other commenters said, you explained this better than my geology professor too!

Thanks for sharing that, never knew that's what the black and white lines were for! SIX Maps gives -33°47'23", 150°13'49" as the location, so you were pretty close with your guesstimation.

This was really easy to understand. Thank you!

You did an amazing job by explaining it practically.

Caro, you're killing me! I spend all this time correcting Dunphys Car Park to Dunphys Camping Area, and you go an immortalise the bloody car park in a video! Myles didn't even drive!

Love your channel! It's a big help for my cabin fever.

Have you tried UTM coordinates before? It breaks the land into 1000 meter grids so you can actually calculate linear distance in the field with geometry.

The UTM coordinates were under your finger at the top right of your map, and the grid on your map appeared to be UTM. Most modern GPS also can display and navigate in UTM and do map coordinate take offs and put them into your GPS. Or you can take the UTM from GPS and plot the position on map.

Once I switched to UTM I'll never go back!

Thanks for the videos, I love seeing the wilds in your neck of the woods!

I still like using MGRS more, but this made lat/long super easy to understand. Thank you.

[jazziebee]

hello, is this still applicable if I use a scale of 1:50, 000 topographic map? Thank you.

This helped me so much!! 🎉🎉 thank you!!

[yeassification]

Tomorrow is my exam and I was so tensed that how would I learn it in one night 😭
You really helped me a lot ❤️
Thank you so much 💓
You are my life saviour ❤️💙🖤💗💜💜
Love you a lot 💖💖

I absolutely love this video, super simple and to the point. My question is would if my map does not have those black lines to help me find minutes?

Thanks - this was helpful in planning our journey through Wild Dogs
