http://www.nationalatlas.gov/articles/mapping/a_latlong.html#four A degree of longitude varies in size. At the equator, it is approximately 69 miles, the same size as a degree of latitude. The size gradually decreases to zero as the meridians converge at the poles. At a latitude of 45 degrees, a degree of longitude is approximately 49 miles. Because a degree of longitude varies in size, minutes and seconds of longitude also vary, decreasing in size towards the poles. > This > inconsistency is making it difficult for anyone to create any ground > level floor plan and handling of precise localization.
