The `pydantic_extra_types.coordinate` module provides the [`Latitude`](/guides/pydantic-extra-types-pydantic-extra-types-coordinate#latitude), [`Longitude`](/guides/pydantic-extra-types-pydantic-extra-types-coordinate#longitude), and [`Coordinate`](/guides/pydantic-extra-types-pydantic-extra-types-coordinate#coordinate) data types.

## Latitude

**Bases:** [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#float)

Latitude value should be between -90 and 90, inclusive.

Supports both float and Decimal types.

```py
from decimal import Decimal
from pydantic import BaseModel
from pydantic_extra_types.coordinate import Latitude

class Location(BaseModel):
    latitude: Latitude

# Using float
location1 = Location(latitude=41.40338)
# Using Decimal
location2 = Location(latitude=Decimal('41.40338'))
```

## Longitude

**Bases:** [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#float)

Longitude value should be between -180 and 180, inclusive.

Supports both float and Decimal types.

```py
from decimal import Decimal
from pydantic import BaseModel

from pydantic_extra_types.coordinate import Longitude

class Location(BaseModel):
    longitude: Longitude

# Using float
location1 = Location(longitude=2.17403)
# Using Decimal
location2 = Location(longitude=Decimal('2.17403'))
```

## Coordinate

**Bases:** `Representation`

Coordinate parses Latitude and Longitude.

You can use the `Coordinate` data type for storing coordinates. Coordinates can be defined using one of the following formats:

1. Tuple: `(Latitude, Longitude)`. For example: `(41.40338, 2.17403)` or `(Decimal('41.40338'), Decimal('2.17403'))`.
2. `Coordinate` instance: `Coordinate(latitude=Latitude, longitude=Longitude)`.

```py
from decimal import Decimal
from pydantic import BaseModel

from pydantic_extra_types.coordinate import Coordinate

class Location(BaseModel):
    coordinate: Coordinate

# Using float values
location1 = Location(coordinate=(41.40338, 2.17403))
# > coordinate=Coordinate(latitude=41.40338, longitude=2.17403)

# Using Decimal values
location2 = Location(coordinate=(Decimal('41.40338'), Decimal('2.17403')))
# > coordinate=Coordinate(latitude=41.40338, longitude=2.17403)
```
