Major latitudes and longitudes are shown as lines across the map or as tick marks in the margins. On most maps or charts, only selected latitudes and longitudes are completely labeled. To prevent clutter, other lines are labeled with partial numbers. For example, only the minutes of arc are shown. The standard way to describe a location with geographic coordinates is to state the latitude followed by the longitude. For example, 46°25'09"S, 105°57'15"E.
