I am not sure exactly what you are asking for. Any book on navigation will describe means for determining Lat and Lon. How you calculate it depends on the data you are starting with. The definition of Latitude is the angle north or south of the equator, reaching 90 degrees at the poles. Longitude is the angle east or west of the meridian through Greenwich, the "prime" meridian. It reaches 180 degrees East or West in the Pacific.
