    In a Topographic map, here are the programming values of each of that navgations:

    N = positive value to the latitude

    S = Negative value to the Latitude

    W = Positive value to the longitude

    E = Negative value to the longitude

    Most programmers that work to create the topographic map choose to simply ommit the N, S, W,&E because it will save them a lot of time from having to type in a minus sign before most of their longitude values in code writing.
