Right, but Lat and Long are normally given as a number of degrees North/South
and also East/West -- i.e. for 90.0,54.23 there are four possibilities:
90N, 54.23W
90S, 54.23W
90S, 54.23E
90N, 54.23E
if we're just storing the floating point info we need modify the spec so that
we always specify from N,W or something.
