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 Gostivar
The DMS coordinates are: 41°47'45.6'' N 20°54'29.5'' E .
Calculations are easier by using the decimal format, hence:
LatO = 41.79601°
LngO = 20.90819°
Step 2: Calculate the latitude
LatA = - LatO = -41.79601°
Since the latitude is positive (north direction), the antipode must be negative (south direction).
Step 3: Calculate the longitude
LngA = LngO ± 180° = 20.90819 - 180° = -159.09181°
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 Gostivar is located on coordinates: (LatA, LngA) = (-41.79601, -159.09181)
In DMS format: 41°47'45.6'' N 20°54'29.5'' E .
