Latitude/Longitude

This coordinate reference system maps longitude to X and latitude to Y, where X and Y are horizontal and vertical measurements respectively. It is useful for showing the whole of the Earth's surface, but has large distortions near the North and South poles.

See Coordinate Reference Systems for more details.
