* Latitude is measured in degrees north or south of the equator.
* Longitude is measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian.
Therefore, you need to specify whether you are talking about latitude or longitude.
For example:
* 60 degrees North, 15 degrees West would be a point in the North Atlantic Ocean, near Greenland.
* 15 degrees South, 60 degrees East would be a point in the Indian Ocean, near Madagascar.
