Lat Long Example

1. The document provides an example worksheet for calculating great circle distances between two points on Earth using either degree-minute-second (DD:MM:SS) or decimal degree (DEG.DDDD) latitude and longitude formats. 2. It includes two examples calculations - one using 39:30:45, 96:58:00 for point 1 and 39:12:00, 94:58:00 for point 2, resulting in a distance of 175.624 km. The second uses 6.9155555556, 107.604722222 for point 1 and -7.730785, 108.097984 for point 2, resulting in a distance of 1631.342 km. 3
