# Coordinates

This object represents geographical coordinates in Latitude and Longitude.

Throughout our API we provide coordinates using decimal degrees with a precision of up to 7 decimal places. This guarantees a worse accuracy of 1.1112 centimetres at the Equator.

Decimal coordinates represent degrees of latitude and longitude. Negative values indicate South for Latitude and West for Longitude.

All coordinates make reference to the [WGS84](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Geodetic_System) model.

| **Property** | **Type** | **Description**                                                                                                             |

| `latitude`   | number   | <p>The decimal latitude, with up to seven decimal places.<br>Unsigned means positive, for North.<br>Negative for South.</p> |
| `longitude`  | number   | <p>The decimal longitude, with up to seven decimal places.<br>Unsigned means positive, for East.<br>Negative for West.</p>  |

For example:

```
{
   "latitude" : 40.639925,
   "longitude" : -73.7786944
}
```
