The antipode can be calculated by understanding the geographic coordinates and applying simple formulas. We will use the following variables:
Step 1: Obtain the geographic coordinates of Tasikmalaya
The DMS coordinates are: 7°19'38.6'' S 108°13'14.5'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = -7.3274°
LngO = 108.2207°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = 7.3274°
Since the latitude is negative (south direction), the antipode must be positive (north direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 108.2207 - 180° = -71.7793°
Since the longitude is positive, we subtract 180° to ensure the final value lies between (-180, 180). If it were the other way around, we would sum 180° for the same reason.
Result:
The antipode of Tasikmalaya is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (7.3274, -71.7793)
In DMS format: 7°19'38.6'' S 108°13'14.5'' E .
