ISO 6709, Standard representation of geographic point location by coordinates, is the international standard for representation of latitude, longitude and altitude for geographic point locations. The first edition ( ISO 6709:1983) was developed by ISO/IEC JTC 1 /SC 32.
This document specifies the representation of latitude and longitude and optionally height or depth compatible with previous editions of ISO 6709.
ISO 6709: 1983 original degree representation The grid resolutions is a function of the number of digits — with leading zeroes filled when necessary, and fractional part with an appropriate number of digits to represent the required precision of the grid. Example: 38° 53 ′ 22.11″ N, 77° 2 ′ 6.88″ W. ISO 6709: 1983 7 decimal digits ...

Standard representation of latitude, longitude and altitude for geographic point locations. Scope. This document specifies the representation of latitude and longitude applicable to data interchange and human-readable representation and maintains strict backwards compatibility with previous editions of ISO 6709.
This document specifies the representation of latitude and longitude and optionally height or depth compatible with previous editions of ISO 6709. This document also supports the representations of other coordinate types and time that can be associated with those coordinates as defined through one or more coordinate reference systems (CRS).
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
