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 Gevgelija
The DMS coordinates are: 41°8'30'' N 22°30'5.1'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 41.14166°
LngO = 22.50141°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -41.14166°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 22.50141 - 180° = -157.49859°
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 Gevgelija is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-41.14166, -157.49859)
In DMS format: 41°8'30'' N 22°30'5.1'' E .
