What is the exact longitude and lattitude of Pakistan?
 

can anybody tell me wots exact longitude n latitude of pakistan as i`ve resorted to few books n internet aswell....but their figures vary considerably from each other.....n how to read it........obviously i know the visible lines on map showing equator n lattitudinal lines..but how one assumes precisely the degrees etc of any city or country????

well dear latitude and longitude together give a geographical position (location) of any point.. like we have x-y coordinates on a graph whch join to gv a certain point.. same way lat n long combine to give a position (location) of certain point on the globe... now obviously, as far geographical postion is concerned pakistan is not a single point tht means it wud hv thousands of difrnt positions (latitude n longitudes) as u move from one place to other within pakistan...like khi wud hv difrnt geographical position (lat n long) n isb wud hv difnt.. so within a country u will hv various positions (lats n longs).. hope it wud gv some idea! ciao:

to know latitude and longitude of any city of country you can use Google Earth and Ecarta World Atals(Softwares)......

Latitude and Longitude
 

Dears, the varriation in lat long of Pakistan from different sources may be due to the fact that the border is not clearly marked in the northen areas.

There is a place, i forgot the name, near Sialkot where longitudes and latitudes of Pak have been measured. Latitude 24 n 37 north and longtitude 62 and 74 east.

Coordinates for Pakistan
 

Pakistan is located within the latitude and longitude of 30° 00 N, 70º 00 E. Every single point located in Pakistan has unique coordinate values.

Extreme points
 

Its usually measured at the capital city of any country
[COLOR=black]Islamabad is 33°40' N 73°10' E[/COLOR]
Other than that the longitudes and latitudes at the furthest most tips of Pakistan are:
Northern: 37°3' N, 75° E (near Misqar in GB a little to the west of the Khunjrab Pass)
Southern: 23°4' N, 68° 2' E (near the Rann of Kutch, Thatta)
Eastern: 35°3' N, 78°00 E (a little east of the Karakoram Pass, Hetian)
Western: 29°5' N, 60°52'"E (at AFIRPK i.e the point where Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan meet in Balochistan)

I agree with SYEDA SABAHAT that the average positions are
"The territory it controls mostly lies between latitudes 23° N and 37° N (a small area is north of 37°), and longitudes 61° E and 78° E (a small area is west of 61°)." ([URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan#Geography_and_climate"]Pakistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/URL])

yes brother u r right.its not very difficult to find exact location just follow lontitudes and latitudes.i know its very difficult for non geographers but i hope my all geography members will learn it soon.:vic

what is this ?
 

On many websites it is given like this
30° 0' 0" N / 70° 0' 0" E
shouldn't it be from N extreme to S extreme .. and E extreme to W extreme ??
