I have just been googling my latitude and I have found that my location differs to my gps on my phone.

My phone says image.webp

But looking up Westlands aerodrome image.webp

So what is my latitude?
 
Three inches closer to the Equator than you thought?
 
Chris1979, you simply show here you're not living inside the airport, but very close to Orchard Street. :D

That's close enough. :-) I ment is it 50.6 or is it the 50.9? Is the phone out or is it Google?
 
Your phone and Google both are fine.
"Dazed and Confused" now?
Your phone only gives degree/minutes/seconds notation, google gives also decimal notation.
If you need the latitude for a satellite receiver, it probably wants decimal notation.
50°56'33'' N is 50.9425° N (decimal notation).
