You are an excellent teacher and your utube videos are a huge help to me as I take an intro GIS class. My professor thanks you as well.

I just stumbled into these videos being searching for this subject and I am excited and pleased to find you. I must say this is so fantastic and you are an outstanding professor, your way of explaining this complex subject looks very simple and easy to understand. Thank you so much.

Just wanted to tell you that I am SO grateful for your video lectures! It has been so difficult for me to gain the information. Reading a textbook without the background information you are putting in place is frustrating. Also, I have several reasons including other people who have not been able to get clear answers from their own professors. I see you don't have many comments: I don't know what that means. I hope you are glad that you made these videos and I think that some day you will get a wider audience!

Is this playlist missing a video that talks about Longitude, prime meridian, and int'l date line? The previous video was on Latitude.

But then no one does this and adds the Feet and inches at the end? How to figure an exact Precise location.

So if I have N31 21.1851 and W157 40.5580, what form is this in?

32 plus .76 plus .005 is equal to 32.772? It doesn't make sense to me.
