I've got lots of numbers. What do I do with them?

oooh I might pop down to Greenwich and try it on the meridian line :-)

If you stick them into google maps, in this format e.g.

51.12345 , 0.12345

it should show you the exact location - and it should be where you are :-)

iPhone 6+ and iPhone 5.

They gave slightly different coordinates but agree to two decimal places.
