Alright, so you wanna know about this 45.7455n 14.4674e thing, huh? Sounds like a bunch of numbers to me, but folks say it’s important for finding places. Like, if you got a piece of land and wanna tell someone where it is, you can’t just say “over yonder by the big oak tree” no more. You gotta use this… whatchamacallit… GPS stuff.
Now, I ain’t no fancy city slicker with them smartphones and all, but from what I hear, these numbers, 45.7455n and 14.4674e, they’re like a secret code. The “n” means north, ya see, and the “e” means east. So, it’s like telling someone to go so far north and so far east. Like, go north past the Johnson’s farm and then east till you see the old water tower. Only these numbers are more precise, I guess.
I heard tell you can punch these numbers into a machine, some kind of computer thingy, or maybe one of them fancy phones, and it’ll show you right where that place is on a map. Imagine that! No more gettin’ lost in the woods, I reckon. Though, I gotta say, sometimes gettin’ lost can be an adventure. But I guess if you gotta get somewhere important, like the doctor’s office or the market, these numbers come in handy.
So, what is this 45.7455n 14.4674e place anyway? Well, I asked my grandson, the one who’s always fiddlin’ with them gadgets, and he looked it up. Turns out, it’s a place called Ljubljana, in some country called Slovenia. Never heard of it myself. He showed me some pictures, though. Looked mighty purdy, with old buildings and a river runnin’ through it. Seems like a nice enough place, though I bet they don’t have collard greens like I grow ‘em.
And get this, there’s also talk about some cave called Križna Jama being near these coordinates. Caves, huh? Reminds me of when I was a young’un, we used to play hide-and-seek in the caves back home. Spooky, but fun. I wonder if this Križna Jama cave is anything like the ones I used to know. Probably not, these days they got lights and tours and all sorts of fancy stuff. Back then, we just had a lantern and our own two feet.
Now, this whole GPS thing, it’s kinda amazin’, if you think about it. How they figured out how to pinpoint any spot on this big ol’ earth just with numbers is beyond me. But I guess that’s progress, right? Makes things easier, faster. Though, I still prefer the old ways sometimes. Like using the sun and the stars to find my way. Or just askin’ for directions. Folks used to be friendlier that way, always willin’ to help a neighbor out.
- 45.7455n: This means 45.7455 degrees North latitude. It tells you how far north of the equator a place is.
- 14.4674e: This means 14.4674 degrees East longitude. It tells you how far east of a certain line (called the Prime Meridian) a place is.
- Together: When you put these two together, they pinpoint a specific location on Earth. Kinda like giving someone directions, only with numbers instead of landmarks.
They say you can use these numbers to find all sorts of things. Addresses, businesses, even that cave I was talkin’ about. Just type ‘em in and, poof, there it is. It’s like magic, I tell ya. But it ain’t really magic, it’s science. Or somethin’ like that. My grandson tries to explain it to me, but it just goes in one ear and out the other. I’m too old for all that newfangled technology. Give me a good ol’ map any day.
But I guess if you wanna keep up with the times, you gotta learn a little bit about this stuff. So, next time you hear someone talkin’ about 45.7455n 14.4674e, you’ll know they ain’t just spouting nonsense. They’re talkin’ about a place. A real place, somewhere out there in the world. And who knows, maybe someday you’ll even go visit it. Me? I’m happy right here on my porch, watchin’ the chickens peck and the sun go down. That’s my kind of GPS. Home.
So there you have it. That’s all I know about this 45.7455n 14.4674e thing. It’s a way to find places, a fancy way, but a way nonetheless. And it led me to learn a little somethin’ about a place called Ljubljana and a cave called Križna Jama. Not bad for an old lady who still prefers a good dirt road to a superhighway.
