If Seattle is at 40 miles 20 minutes and 15 seconds. This is in latitude and longitude and nautical stuff.How far is Seattle away from the equator?
You are a little confused about Latitude and Longitude.
They are measured in DEGRESS-Minutes-Seconds
On Degree of Latitude is about 60 Nautical Miles.
Latitude 47Degrees 37Minutes North - Longitude 122Degrees 20Minutes West
60 * 47.5 = 2850 Nautical Miles north of the Equator
