Latitude and longitude are kind of the earth-wide way of describing a
position on the surface of the earth.  If you have them, you can figure out
how many miles there are between your domicile, and your place of
employment (or candidate employment).

Latitude and longitude are getting easier to find with the popularity of
GPS units and cell phones with GPS, but there are ways of converting things
like a USA zip code to latitude and longitude as well.

Personally, I don't want to relocate, so the _place_ an employer resides
tends to matter quite a bit to me.
